COVID-19: UK Warns Of Tougher Social Distancing Measures

A woman wearing a face mask passes a Public Health England sign, warning passengers arriving on flights into the UK, that a virus, Coronavirus, has been detected in Wuhan in China, at Terminal 4 of London Heathrow Airport in west London on January 28, 2020. DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS / AFPThe British government on Sunday warned that outside exercise could be banned if people flout stringent guidelines to cut the spread of coronavirus infections.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who himself tested positive for COVID-19, told Sky News television that sunbathing was “against the rules” and anyone doing so put lives at risk. Hancock later told a daily government briefing changes to social distancing rules were “not imminent”.Meanwhile in Scotland, the country’s chief medical officer apologised for ignoring her own advice about non-essential travel.

Calderwood, who fronts a public advertising campaign urging Scots to stay at home, told a news conference: “What I did was wrong. I’m very sorry. It will not happen again.” “She should not have got this wrong… But I need to have the best possible expertise… if we are to steer the best course through this,” she added.The developments came as Britain reported 621 more deaths as of 1600 GMT on Saturday, taking the total toll to 4,934.

The British toll — down from a record day-on-day high of 708 as of Friday, after a week of steady increases — includes a five-year-old child and seven healthcare workers.

It will come and go
