It’s been an extraordinary week for people living in Salisbury. The situation escalated from a local incident to an international event after it was confirmed that a former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia had been attacked with a rare nerve agent. The type has not been revealed.
As the week progressed, more areas of the city were cordoned off to the public as specialist personnel and the military were drafted in to help deal with any potential contamination. It was confirmed that a total of 21 people had received treatment as a result of the incident.
On Sunday morning a public health warning urging hundreds of people who visited the Mill and Zizis restaurant where the Russian spy Sergei Skripal may have been poisoned to wash their clothes and possessions. The advice from Public Health England (PHE) was aimed at as many as 500 customers who were at either location on Sunday 4 and Monday 5 March.
The public health notice said that although the risk was very low, repeated contact with clothing or items exposed to the nerve agent could still be a danger.
