New Covid-19 cases in Seaton, Axminster and elsewhere in Devon show we should continue distancing and mask-wearing

Although we have had a consistently low level of infection in East Devon over the last three months, a recent small group of cases in Seaton and Axminster – in residents returning from overseas holidays, rather than tourists in our area – reminds us all that the pandemic is not over.
There have been other small groups of cases in other parts of Devon, so it is vital that everyone, including younger people, maintains social distancing and wears face masks in crowded spaces outdoors as well as in indoor environments.
Despite the failures of the Government’s national track and trace system, Devon’s Public Health team seems to be dealing effectively with the local issues.
