Getting to hospital or doctor appointments for a start.
There's umpteen reasons why OAP's would want to travel before 9.30 in the morning. As well as hospital and doctor appointments, some shops, banks and other businesses are opening up first thing in a morning for an hour to allow only pensioners ( who are more at risk if they catch the virus) to do their shopping etc in order to avoid mixing with other customers and crowds.
Reports coming from local newspaper asking people in the Frankly Northfield and Great Park areas of Brum to get tested after the South African Variant of Covid discovered in the area. Worryingly it cannot be traced back to any International Travel
TheI know this is from a few weeks ago, but I live in the Frankley area. They came round & offered doorstep testing, so the government must have had a big concern.I did the test (negative), and have since had my 1st vaccine anyway, but it was a worry at the time.
I believe the Frankley Covid outbreak was a variant hence the concern. Missed you Judith Good to see you backSnooks was about to start a collection!!!
