READERS have weighed in on coronavirus rules after a health boss gave a warning to follow guidelines. This came as neighbouring areas in the North West are seeing increasing numbers of outbreaks involving the new Indian variant of the Covid virus and ‘surge testing’ implemented in affected communities. Colin Cox, Cumbria’s Director of Public Health, said: “Covid infections in Cumbria remain very low, which is fantastic. But there is cause for some concern given what we are now seeing in other parts of the region with the spread of the new ‘Indian variant’. “There are still a lot of unknowns about the Indian variant in terms of how it spreads and how effective our vaccines are, so it really is important that we don’t let it get a foothold in the county.”
