âWe are finding that once one person is infected, then the whole household or family often gets infected too,” Dr Laidlaw said.
âOur contact tracers are working through an extremely long list of people who have been exposed to positive cases and it is still likely there will be more infections. We are by no means out of the woods yet.â
