Prof Peter Openshaw, a prominent adviser to government on Covid, says there is ‘no point in delaying’
A prominent adviser to the government on Covid-19 has said he is very fearful of another “lockdown Christmas”, as he urged the public to do everything possible to reduce the spread of the virus.
Prof Peter Openshaw, a member of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag), said case numbers and death rates were currently unacceptable, and re-emphasised the importance of measures such as working from home and mask wearing as part of efforts to control the spread of Covid.
