More loved ones will die due to coronavirus: Boris Johnson warns Britons
LONDON : Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned on Thursday that many more families would see their loved ones die from coronavirus, as the government’s chief scientific adviser said Britain likely has as many as 10,000 people infected.
Britain and the EU also agreed to cancel face-to-face trade negotiations planned for next week in London due to the outbreak.
At a meeting of the government’s emergency committee on Thursday, Johnson moved Britain’s response to the outbreak to the so-called “delay phase”, aimed at putting off the peak until the summer months, ending a phase of outright containment.
