and live on Freeview channel 276
Due to the Omicron being more transmissible than previous Covid variants and the rate of infection doubling at a rate of as little as 2.5 to 3 days, the government has decided to add new restrictions to prevent the increasing infection rate.
The new preventions include:
. Face masks to become compulsory in most public indoor venues, other than hospitality

. Work from home if you can
We wanted to know what Crawley thought of the new restrictions, so we asked our readers for their thoughts. This is what they had to say:
Nikki Courtney: “Would suit me working from home if I was not front line NHS. I would love to sit in my pyjamas and work from home.”
Nav Kalsi: “I think it's better to be safe than sorry. Since face masks were made compulsory in shops a couple of weeks ago, we see so many people not bothering. I think people need to realise that it is the people themselves who are spreading Covid. So, please at least try and do the minimum. Please get vaxxed and then boosted.”
