The UK has reached a “tipping point” in its coronavirus epidemic similar to that last seen in March, one of the country’s top scientists has warned.
Prof Jonathan Van-Tam, England’s deputy chief medical officer, said “the seasons are against us” and the country is running into a “headwind” ahead of the winter months.
More deaths will follow a rise in cases over the coming weeks, he said.
He urged people to help the NHS by keeping contact with others low.
