It's a full on job. Volunteered to do it and do feel we're making a difference, particularly to the few older and vulnerable people living in the midst of student land!

All fully vaccinated and taking lateral flow tests daily.

For anyone who knows the area, this was in one of the small leafy streets of terrace houses near the Headingley Arndale centre. The road in question had maybe 20 properties and we spoke to maybe half of them. Four of the properties we spoke to currently have Covid. Whilst this is still a student area it's nothing like the hellhole known as Hyde Park where it's out of control mostly thanks to the students:

(I'm surprised at the quote of official figures saying 120 cases - my anecdotal evidence is a much higher figure)
