It is no exaggeration to say that at this stage in the coronavirus emergency, people are dazed and bamboozled, confused even.
And who could blame them for feeling a bit lost. The plan for living with Covid-19 set out in Levels from 1 to 5. The various levels were supposed to give people certainty.
But with tweaks and caveats and add-ons, you would need a PhD in Covid restrictions to be sure what applies and what does not at this point.
Clarity and certainty is vital for people, so they can understand the rules and do their best to adhere by them. I think it’s fair to say that the messaging has been messy.
