‘I just want an hour in sun’
BEFORE the pandemic, Reg Heinz would relish days out in the sunshine with his family.
But over the past year the 83-year-old has only been able to leave his care home twice – for hospital check-ups.
Mr Heinz said: ‘I feel like I am missing out on living my life’.
He has lived in his care home in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, for three and a half years and his wife Kathleen, 73, and daughter Victoria live nearby. He is urging the Government to drop the 14-day isolation rule so that he can once again sit in his daughter’s garden with a beer.
He said: ‘I previously enjoyed visits to my family, events such as car shows and family meals.
‘I would like to go out for an hour and enjoy the fine weather, but cannot face the isolation of 14 days in my bedroom. I just want to have things to look forward to.’
