WEEK 67 CORONAVIRUS: RISING RATES LOCALLY

We are in a hot spot for number of cases of coronavirus just now. It seems to be in schools and among young adults.  We it is hardly surprising as they have now opened up football attendance, though modified number, and indoor socialising is taking place. I guess it will be ever thus.

CORONA LISA

We were informed, quite rightly, by our neighbour that her son who had been digging out some plants in our garden to take to his own family's garden up the street, has tested positive.  He had been over at his friend's house to watch the football and unbeknownst to him the siblings in the house were primary school children in a local school which was having an outbreak.

However there are test stations locally and we got ourselves down there and  exactly 24 hours later, we were informed that were were both negative. The system seemed to work well on the whole.

We are going to have to wait until end of July - early August to see if infection rate goes down enough to lift the rest of restrictions.  We are still wearing masks everywhere and maintaining social distancing.  Most places are open and people are out and about.  The weather is fine so that helps.  Schools finished this week.
