ÖSTA Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 @bigjarofwasps There are a couple of pictures of the Spanish ANAV medal up Thread (towards the bottom of page 2).
Zulu_00 Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (which is, for those who don't know, a sovereign entity/state under international law with permanent observer status at the UN) has instituted a medal. I came across this completely by accident. Not only was I delighted to have something else to share on this thread, I realised that I might actually be eligible considering I'm a volunteer with the Order. Will share anymore updates or info as I get them. 3

He said that the government plans to follow suit and issue a national measure to mark the efforts of NHS workers. The PM made the announcement after Craig Tracey, Bedworth and North Warwickshire's MP, spoke during the weekly event in the Commons. "The George Eliot Hospital has recently issued all of its staff, volunteers and helpers with a medal in recognition of the work they have done and continue to do through the Covid pandemic," Mr Tracey said. "Would the Prime Minister join me in thanking them for their incredible work they have done, including the specialist teams such as palliative care, who have had to act as surrogate families for patients whose family have been unable to attend due to restrictions. "Will he consider following their lead and issuing a national service medal for all of our key workers who have done such an outstanding job keeping our country going through the pandemic." The Prime Minister replied: "I am pleased that so many of the volunteers and staff at the George Eliot Hospital have been recognised. I have seen the medal and I think it is lovely. "As I have told the House before, we are establishing a UK commission on Covid commemoration to consider how we can commemorate everything we have all been through."
Zulu_00 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Australian Border Force Operation Medal with COVID-19 Response Clasp. Medal is regularly sized compared to ribbon, the angle of the picture is the reason it looks big. 1

ÖSTA Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) My ANAV Covid-19 medal arrived from Spain today. As with JensF's medal, the serial number matches the certificate. A very different style of engraving though. At first I thought it was a sticker! It turns out to be laser etched. Edited February 4, 2022 by ÖSTA Info added.. 2

Some more medals recently awarded: https://www.milak.at/news/detail/verleihung-einsatzmedaille It seems to be another Austrian medal, described on the Bundesheer website as "Service medal according to §2 Abs.1 lit. c WG elementary events" whatever that means 1

bigjarofwasps Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 It appears that consideration is being given to adding a Covid related clasp to the Australian National Emergency Medal? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emergency_Medal 1

It was almost always a certainty that the Aussies would do this. 1
Zulu_00 Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Has anyone here got any of the aforementioned medals mounted in their groups? I know @ÖSTA does but anyone else?
