  Due to the current rise of Covid 19 cases, clinics have taken measures, including a rise in manpower and supplies. Due to the high amount of people coming to clinics for medical help, a rise in manpower is certainly needed. However, the medicine also needs to be stocked up, be in medicine for sore throat, which is the most common symptom Covid 19 patients show, or for patients reporting to clinics claiming they have respiratory problems. 

  Although there certainly is a spike in the number of Covid 19 cases, clinics still claim that there is almost twice the number of patients reporting to clinics, which is a high number. There is also a rise in demand for ART test kits, and although the situation right now can be described as ‘under control’, it is believed that it can get much worse.

  Doctors strongly remind us to get vaccination if we haven’t already, stay home when we are sick, or if going out to wear a mask if we are unwell. Although we have hybrid immunity to this virus although we took some vaccines in the past, people still stay vigilant and thus, there has been a rise in people who are taking vaccines in this period of time, statistically.
