Day 30 of our lockdown and as of 1.00 p.m. yesterday we had 8 new and probable cases of Covid 19 and just over 1000 recovered, there was one more death bringing the total to 13 to date.. There's 10 in hospital and 2 of those in intensive care..
One of the downsides to getting the Covid 19 here was seeing our unemployed figures go from 4% up to 12% just about 10 days ago, sad when businesses are getting money to pay the staffs wages if they had to close down, the payments meant every worker got their wages for 12 weeks as long as business owners put in for it, we're only just into week 5 and due to drop to level 3 on monday 27 April, so there was more than enough money to keep staff on.. I'll try looking to see if I can find a more up to date unemployed rate later if I get time..
