Woman banned from hospitals after posting Covid-19 conspiracies online

She was previously fined £200

A woman has been banned from all hospitals in the south of England after repeatedly posting Covid-19 conspiracies on social media. She frequently visited hospitals across the south of England, harassing members of staff and security. She uploaded videos from hospitals in Southampton, Portsmouth and Chichester including claims that hospitals "were the quietest" she'd ever seen them. These claims have been debunked by police and council authorities in the area. Hannah Dean, 30, from Fareham, Hampshire was previously fined £200 - but has now been barred from entering all hospitals. She has also been ordered not to encourage others to break coronavirus restrictions. She is now likely to face arrest and possible prosecution. Below are public social media posts in which authorities say Dean is guilty of spreading Covid-19 conspiracies. Dean's Facebook page is also awash with QAnon conspiracy theories. Followers of the QAnon doctrine believe a cabal of elites across politics and entertainment actively engage in paedophilia and child sex trafficking. As part of the community protection notice placed on her, she will only be permitted to enter a hospital in the event of an emergency, pre-arranged medical appointment or if she is the carer or dependent of a patient. If she visits a hospital outside of these terms, she could face a fine of up to £2,500 on each occasion. A statement published by Sussex Police confirmed the notice. "On Sunday, Sussex police issued a community protection warning to a 30-year-old woman from Fareham which prevents her from attending any hospital apart from when she has a prior appointment, is a dependent or there is a medical emergency; and to not encourage, endorse or incite another person to breach Covid restrictions. "The woman breached the conditions of the community protection warning on the same day of the order being issued and on Monday she was issued with a community protection notice." Hampshire Police added that the community protection notice "is designed to prevent unreasonable behaviour that is having a negative impact on the local community's quality of life".
