Second virus wave in UK could see 120,000 deaths: Study

"The modelling suggests that deaths could be higher with a new wave of COVID-19 this winter, but the risk of this happening could be reduced if we take action immediately."The group of 37 scientists involved in the report said the government needed to prepare immediately because of the"serious risk" to health of a potential surge in cases.

The report calls for"intense preparation" this month and next to prevent the country's state-run National Health Service from being overwhelmed. The government's test, trace and isolate programme also needed to be scaled up, along with surveillance and ensuring at risk individuals, health and care workers get flu jabs.

Critics said a national lockdown should have been imposed earlier and contact tracing maintained, while there have also been questions about testing capacity.
