Panel Discussion

The Efficacy of Lockdowns and Curfews During Easter

Majority of the nation remains indoors, under the direction of the government. This is in an attempt to prevent the rapid spread of COVID-19 during the Easter weekend. As such, we ask the uncomfortable question; are the lockdowns and curfews effective?

Have the efforts of the nation to abide by these strictures over the course of the past year been beneficial? Where would we be without them? To discuss this topic from a medical and a socio-economic perspective we are joined by Medical Doctor, Alfred Dawes and businessman, John Mahfood.
