And now the calls for Plan B to be immediately put into action have begun...
I honestly feel there will never be an end to this whole COVID saga.
Covid: Bring back rules amid rising cases, urge NHS chiefs

Some Covid restrictions must immediately be reintroduced if England is to avoid "stumbling into a winter crisis", health leaders have warned.
The NHS Confederation said ministers' "Plan B" back-up strategy, including mandatory face coverings in crowded and enclosed spaces, should be implemented.
UK cases have been rising sharply but deaths are well below the winter peak.
The government says it has "absolutely no plan" for further measures but is keeping a "very close eye" on the data.
Daily Covid cases have been above 40,000 for seven days in a row, with 43,738 new infections reported on Tuesday.
Another 223 deaths were recorded, the highest since March, although daily figures are often bigger on Tuesdays.
I honestly feel there will never be an end to this whole COVID saga.
