The sudden lifting, amidst the doom and gloom, of most COVID-19 restrictions

Dear Editor,

It has to be wondered, if the sudden lifting of most COVID-19 restrictions with full reopening in a matter of days, even though cases and deaths are still being recorded, has anything to do with the recent economic state worldwide, due to Putin’s ‘special military operation’ and increasing prices, as distracting and detracting measures, from the doom and gloom atmosphere and in view of the upcoming Phagwah and Easter celebrations?  Are we doing too much too soon?

Sincerely,

Shamshun Mohamed
