Restart a Heart 2020
Confusion around what to do during COVID-19 when someone’s in a cardiac arrest could cause delay in life-saving action, warn charities.
New research, commissioned by RCUK, has revealed that a third of UK adults don’t know if, during the COVID-19 pandemic, CPR should only be carried out by professionals wearing PPE. Read our Restart a Heart 2020 research results and press release to see why we believe learning and using CPR skills is more important than ever during COVID-19.
