It has now been a year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed millions of lives and changed the ways in which each of us relates to and navigates the world. How has the pandemic impacted our lives these past 12 months? Medical News Today assess the situation.
A year ago, on March 11, 2020, the director-general of the

The policy response and the hoped for bounce back pose a lot of questions? Today I intend to look at the inflation issue.
