East Devon’s COVID rate rises, to the highest in Devon after Plymouth: time to re-tighten social distancing

The COVID case rate in East Devon has risen from 6.8 to 10.3 per 100,000 of population. This is still low by national standards, but as we can see from the escalating cases elsewhere, this increase could lead to further rises and a real re-emergence of the pandemic, if we are not ALL very careful.
