The government’s top scientists will today warn the country is at a “turning point” in its battle against Covid-19 in a televised press conference.
Brits will be warned to prepare for a “very challenging” winter by Chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, and Sir Patrick Vallance, chief scientific adviser, as a second wave of coronavirus cases starts to arrive.
Prof Whitty is expected to say: “The trend in the UK is heading in the wrong direction and we are at a critical point in the pandemic. “We are looking at the data to see how to manage the spread of the virus ahead of a very challenging winter period.” When is Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance’s press conference?
