‘It’s like two dogs fighting'

Dear Post members — the Covid-19 case rate in the Liverpool City region is still a bit below the national rate, but it’s now growing by more than 10% over a week. We’ve got the latest figures below, along with our usual dashboard. We’ll try to get the latest hospital and vaccination numbers from the combined authority for you soon.

We’ve also got an interesting report from Mollie today about local Instagram accounts that try to warn users about the location of police officers. Plus, in our mini-briefing we have some other news and a recommendation to visit a talk at the Lady Lever Art Gallery.
