Ex-UK govt adviser and health expert Neil Ferguson says Britain needs to reintroduce national coronavirus lockdown measures
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that he did not want another national lockdown but that new restrictions may be needed because the country was facing an"inevitable" second wave of Covid-19.Britain is likely to need to reintroduce some national coronavirus lockdown measures sooner rather than later, a leading epidemiologist and former senior government health adviser has said.
Britain has suffered Europe's highest death toll from Covid-19, with more than 41,000 deaths on the government's preferred measure. He said future lockdown restrictions did not need to be as strict as those introduced in March to be effective in slowing the renewed spread of the disease. Britain's capacity to test for coronavirus infections has also come under strain since schools in England reopened this month, with many people reporting that tests were unavailable or only possible at locations hundreds of miles away.
