LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday said in minutes from a Oct 14 meeting, published on Friday.
SAGE added that among Plan B measures, reintroduction of work-from-home guidance would have the biggest impact to cut transmission, and warned that"presenteeism" might become an increasing reason for contagion in the workplace.The Office for National Statistics on Friday found that COVID-19 prevalence had risen again. One of the areas with highest prevalence was southwest England, which was impacted by false negative test results from a lab that was suspended last week.
The current rise in cases has been fuelled by high levels of infections in secondary schools, where 7.8per cent of children were infected in the latest week, according to ONS statistics. Johnson has said that the government will rely on vaccines rather than lockdowns to navigate a difficult winter, and SAGE said that things were unlikely to be as bad as last winter.
