As people in London, Tel Aviv and New York start to move past the excitement of getting coronavirus jabs and turn their thoughts to booking summer holidays, it might appear for many that the world is at last returning to normal.

Living away from community and country, Aboriginal families of children with severe burns also face critical financial stress to cover the associated costs of health care and treatment, a new study shows.
An Australian study, led by Flinders researchers Dr Courtney Ryder and Associate Professor Tamara Mackean, found feelings of crisis were common in Aboriginal families with children suffering severe burns, with one family reporting skipping meals and others selling assets to reduce costs while in hospital.
The economic hardship was found to be worse in families who live in rural areas - some households travelling more than five hours for treatment, creating undue financial strain.

A nurse and four learners who escaped quarantine at the Roman Catholic Church Youth Centre in Rehoboth to party around town over the weekend were fined N$4 000 each for violating Covid-19 regulations.
Regional crime coordinator for Hardap, Deputy Commissioner Eric Clay, confirmed the incident, adding that police officers were also put at risk.
“The police officers who apprehended these people were now also put in isolation and must be tested,” he said.
Mathilda Beukes, who lives opposite the centre, yesterday confirmed that the learners were partying non-stop over the weekend, leaving those in the area unable to sleep.
