LONDON: Britain faces a “tipping point” in a second wave of coronavirus infections, forcing the government to take tougher lockdown measures unless people obey social distancing rules, Health Secretary Matt Hancock warned on Sunday.
The country faces a “tipping point” after a surge of coronavirus infections this month, Hancock told the BBC.
“If everybody follows the rules then we can avoid further national lockdown,” he said.
“It is absolutely critical at this moment that everybody stops, takes a step back, and realises we’ve all got a part to play.” Prime Minister
Britain reported more than 4,400 new coronavirus infections on Saturday, bringing its total since March to 390,000. Its official death toll linked to COVID-19 is nearly 42,000, Europe’s highest total. (DPA)
