Could there be an end in sight for Covid nightmare? - the YEP says

The last eight months have taken their toll on each and every one of us.

We have all been impacted by the devastating effects of the pandemic – and we have paid the price.

Today health chiefs reveal the profound impact this has had on the city’s mental health.

Support services across Leeds have reported a rise in the numbers of people seeking help during this year’s lockdown and with the winter months now upon us, life for those people could feel especially tough.

So it is of some comfort that the Government yesterday confirmed the first approved Covid-19 could begin to be rolled out from next week.

It gives us all that little bit of hope, although the logistics and transparency around its administration are the next crucial step.

In the meantime, we’re spreading the message that “it’s okay not to be okay” – and urging all our readers to continue to look out for each other.
