• IT is spooky to note the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in Camden this summer compared with last.

This year in the week to August 15 there was one death and 594 cases. In the same week last year there were no deaths and 23 cases.

Indeed last year in the five weeks to August 16 2020 there was a total of just 63 cases. It is worth our whiles to ponder such sobering statistics.
