Covid-19

[CRAZY-HORSE]

we are back in a full lockdown for the first time in 15 months here (a week long lockdown at this stage) to try to contain 3 cases of the Indian variant before it takes hold in the community,
the week basically gives the authorities enough time to track all the contact tracing of people who may have been around the infected people.

only essential shops are allowed to open, food, pharmacy, fuel, and essential workers.
cafes etc only allowed to do take out
5 persons allowed at weddings, 10 at funerals
no hospital visitors, the exceptions being for partner support at childbirth, deathbed visits and parents allowed to visit their children.
no travel beyond 5km from home
masks to be worn outside the home
no visitors at homes, except to care for the elderly and those who need home help
sporting venues, zero crowd attendence

would much rather put up with a week or two of those measures and be back to normal for sure
