NORTH YORKSHIRE health officials have warned the county will have to stay on high alert over Covid-19 for at least another year as the virus “won’t just evaporate suddenly” this summer. Speaking at a briefing on Wednesday, Richard Webb, director of health and adult services at the county council, said while there was a “growing sense of optimism” in the lifting of lockdown restrictions, the threat of new variants and need for booster vaccines meant the pandemic was far from over. “Pandemics don’t just go away – the thinking globally is they tend to take two to three years to work their way through,” he told the North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum briefing.
