Update on the coronavirus issue following today’s COBRA meeting

Following todays COBRA meeting the government is now moving to a ‘delay’ phase against coronavirus which has now been classed as a global pandemic. PM Boris Johnson has said that banning events will have little effect on containing the spread of the virus. He also commented that ” All stages we are guided by the science.”

There is not yet a national reason to distance people socially according to the Chief Medical Officer.
