Coronavirus Awareness
In March 2020 in an address to the nation, Boris Johnson said: “The coronavirus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades – and this country is not alone. All over the world we are seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer.”
This new coronavirus and the measures taken to prevent its spread, continue to impact all of our lives in one way or another, and it appears this will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.
