Not what we’d want to hear but given the relaxations, we have to expect some increase in hospitalisations and sadly, deaths. Let’s just hope that people behave responsibly once restrictions are lifted in a couple of weeks. I personally feel that masks should have been retained as a restriction on public transport and indoor venues, at least for another month to allow a more controlled exit from restrictions rather than a “big bang”. Let’s give the NHS a break and ease our way back to normality.
