Leicester faces local lockdown

[Mr Ripple]

Sorry, think you misunderstand. It's not deaths, I'm looking for, it's numbers infected. It's listed for all areas except Glenfield.

I did wonder if I was barking Lol
Please ignore.

Pre local lockdown, a Grenfell style warning I suppose:

June 2020

"Emerging evidence indicates that conditions in Leicester’s factories, primarily producing for Boohoo, are putting workers at risk of COVID-19 infections and fatalities.

Factories in Leicester are no stranger to illegal working conditions, with numerous reports over the years showing low pay – as little as £3 – and blatant intimidation of vulnerable workers. Now however, emerging evidence indicates that conditions in Leicester’s factories, primarily producing for Boohoo, are putting workers at risk of COVID-19 infection and fatality as some factories have remained open for production during the lockdown, whilst others are now re-opening."

This is a constant battle, in Leicester. on this. And don't go thinking it's just the rag trade, either. Workers often have no choice. You either work for the exploiter, or get sanctioned and loose your home and, as is increasingly happening, your children. I mean. What would you do, in that situation?
