ARE we totally done with Covid-19? Whilst we seem to have turned the corner from this pandemic, there are still daily cases of people all around us who are still getting and spreading the flu.

This week on Healthcare Today with Manvir Victor, local GP and medical practitioner with the project “Quickly Test & Treat” Dr Balachandran Krishnan gives us insights into the situation.

We talk about the lack of data now due to the fact that Covid-19 is being under-reported even though many are still spreading it.

As we look at the spread, long Covid symptoms are again discussed as they are becoming more prevalent now.

Do the boosters really help us?

With the advent of vaccines and boosters for the more vulnerable, we find that more can be saved from serious harm by taking them.

However, who exactly should be concerned about this? Those questions and more are addressed here.
