Time for unity of purpose

Sir, – Surely the time has come for the Opposition to cease criticising the Government for its handling of the pandemic. We face a national crisis, and it is essential that the whole population adheres to the official restrictions, with no exceptions, unless medically exempted. This is not a time for political point-scoring. It is a time of unity of purpose. – Yours, etc,
