Two years on from Britain being plunged into lockdown, Newcastle's Director of Public Health has warned that we need to remain cautious about Covid.
But Prof Eugene Milne also said that we should apply that caution to other infections like flu or norovirus too.
Prof Milne, Newcastle's soon-to-retire Director of Public Health, has been a visible presence helping to lead the city's efforts to combat Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, and speaking to ChronicleLive he warned that the virus was still out there and cases due to the BA.2 Omicron variant continued to rise.
