TWO of a village surgery's five GPs are self-isolating due to Coronavirus. The precautionary measures have left Branch End Surgery in Stocksfield short-staffed, with just three doctors now working.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, the surgery asked patients whose issues can safely wait, or be dealt with by a different means, to contact the surgery on 01661 842626.
