Covid update - National figures
Revised from today's earlier post as the figures did not look correct but were.
The picture does look bleak as National cases have skyrocketed from 4778 to 8943. nearly double last week
Canterbury has followed that trend with a rise from 763 to 1250.
I would say if it rises or even continues to stay at this level, this is a serious situation
All the recommendations for vaccination and safeguards should be in place.
Masks for the vulnerable would not go amiss in crowds
Stay aware and safe folks.
