“We expect a significant rise in infection in the next seven to 10 days. With the level of violations we are seeing, there’s no escaping it,” the unnamed source is quoted saying by Channel 12 news.
The source warns that plans to open up more school grades and businesses could be put off should the numbers in fact rise.
