ED: Re-entering lockdown with purpose

We hope that the government continues to remain vigilant against Covid-19
When it comes to lockdowns, the main purpose of it should not be forgotten: To keep the spread of the coronavirus to a minimum, and to reduce the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 -- numbers which have continued to rise ever since the discovery of the Delta variant.

While panic and fear-mongering are most definitely not the answer, there is no denying that the Delta variant is proving to be a more potent form of the coronavirus, leading to higher mortality rates and lower vaccine effectiveness, for which a strict lockdown has become essential.
