There were no enforced quarantines announced earlier and no orders to close premises.
But the advice was clear – a request to the public to do something difficult, disruptive. The Prime Minister described the steps the public is now being asked to take as “draconian”.
To discuss these measures, we’re joined now by Dr Bharat Pankania, an adviser on communicable disease control and a former consultant for Public Health England.
From Beaconsfield, we have Professor Karol Sikora, who was Chief of the Cancer Program at the World Health Organisation, and is now Dean of Medicine at the University of Buckingham.
InWestminster, we have Dr Dominic Pimenta, a front line NHS doctor and Cardiology Registrar.
