In a social media post, Mr Swann said ‘important decisions to be taken in the days and weeks ahead.’

‘Everyone must play their part by following public health advice,’ he added.

And Professor Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer and Sir Patrick Vallance, the government’s top scientific adviser, held a televised announcement from Downing Street this morning.
They said the number of new infections of COVID-19 could rise to 50,000 a day by mid-October if no action is taken.
