Whilst the mask mandate has now been lifted for schools, businesses, shops and restaurants, and we start to return to normal (or a new normal), its adviseable to be cautious if you have traveled or are showing symptoms of Covid 19 or one of the varients.  Please wear a mask if you are sick and around other people, and take a rapid test to rule out Covid-19
