Covid-19 in the South West

It may put your mind at ease to know that according to Public Health England, the South West region has the lowest amount of Covid-19 cases. Their facts also show that around the UK, the number of deaths has decreased since a particularly high point in April.

Reopening borders

Countries around the World are slowly beginning to open their borders. For now, countries are only opening borders to their neighbours or for essential travel but there are talks of more happening in June. Greece’s borders are said to be opening for international travel from July 1st and Italy is hoping to get their borders open to tourists as early as June 3rd. It may feel like our summer is not happening this year, but it is, there’s just been a small delay.

Key workers

TikTok is a new social media platform that seems to have become a craze during lockdown. The good news here is that our key workers are happy and if even our key workers are happy, how can we not be?
