This Christmas has seen many people opting or having to stay away from family and friends because of Covid-19 concerns.

With around 50,000 cases reported over the last five days as well as many people with positive antigen tests struggling to get a PCR test to confirm their Covid status, it has been a strange and difficult time for many across the country and abroad.
