The UK’s Covid alert level should have been lowered weeks ago
Posted at 1.55pm UK time
The UK’s four Chief Medical Officers have agreed that the Covid alert level should be lowered from level four to level three. This suggests that the ‘epidemic is in general circulation’ and that there should be a ‘gradual relaxing of restrictions and social distancing measures’.
This should have been done weeks ago – the delay was totally nonsensical.
When rates were higher than they are now they had us at alert level three. Now they have only just managed to bring us down to the same level when the virus has been decreasing rapidly.
