The UK has “turned a corner” and is on course for up to 50,000 new cases of Covid-19 per day by mid-October, which could lead to 200 deaths a day by the following month, the government’s chief medical adviser has warned.
The country should be prepared for significant restrictions for the next six months, over the winter period where the virus can be expected to flourish, Dr Chris Whitty said.
