And now a woman has found instant social media fame after she was vox popped on the streets of Bolton – a town north of Manchester experiencing a worrying new outbreak – by the breakfast program Good Morning Britain.
When asked about her fears surrounding the threats from the new strain, the mask-less woman declared she was so worried “I won’t even leave the house” and that’s despite being out shopping in Bolton’s main street.
