Living with Covid-19 is now the new “norm” for Bristolians, says the city’s mayor.
Marvin Rees told a council meeting that while more mutations and “flare-ups” were expected, vaccines were preventing the vast majority of people from dying from coronavirus.
The city’s current rate of infection is 1,162 per 100,000 population, above England’s average of 939, according to Bristol City Council’s email newsletter to residents on Tuesday (February 8).
