As coronavirus restrictions are eased across England, deputy chief medical officer Prof Jonathan Van-Tam warns the public to follow the guidance and 'don't tear the pants out of it'

Professor Jonathan Van-Tam:"Follow the guidance don't tear the pants out of it"

However, he cautioned the public to be"sensible and proportionate with the freedom we have wanted to give people".It comes as scientific advisers to the governmentFrom Monday, schools will reopen and up to six people can meet in England, with other nations also easing measures. Professor John Edmunds, a member of Sage - the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies which advises the government - said the levels of coronavirus were still"very high", adding that it was a"political decision" to ease measures.suggest there are currently 8,000 cases per day in England alone.

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, who led the briefing on Saturday, said scientists were"absolutely right to urge caution"."At each stage, we are not going to proceed unless we are confident that we can do so in a safe way," he said. Now there is a clear, loud and public split between some of those advising government and those"following the science".

So you mean don't behave like the elite politicians and their families visiting relatives over night and using there 2nd homes! Personally fed up listening to you all, if you don't live by your rules why should we?!!!!!!

Well, that makes it SO much clearer then!...👙

Prof Van-Tam warns the public to follow the guidance. Does he watch the news? I am sure they all have noticed that a vast number of people do not do this. Are they going to pretend it is not happening, sit back and wait for R to increase again?.

the BBC & SkyNews report the 2 SAGE scientists who said Boris is lifting the lockdown too early. What they dont mention is that at least another 48 scientists, who are part of SAGE, do agree with Boris. It’s about time Boris and his team gets the positive press they so deserve

Foreigner struggles with idom

What would Dominic do? Anything he liked so this is what they are all doing.

BorisJohnson given how many people have gone against the rules do you still trust British common sense? Watch the R value go up! Please stop this easing lockdown non sense when the world is laughing at our stupidity MattHancock CMO_England

What the holy fuck does that mean? Is it the 30th February again?

It’s a bit late for that. We are currently careering into a massive second peak faster than the spaceX launched!

Do one, Van Tam! The freedom you've given us? The freedom is ours already, how dare you!!!!!

Good advice.

How stupid do you have to be to not follow guidelines? This is incomprehensible. And we wonder why the rate doesn’t drop like other countries...

JennySandum Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. stable door horse bolted.

把共产党派到其他国家红二代间谍全部踢出西方国家,好好回去为中共做贡献,不要偷别国的专利到中共炫耀自己多牛掰!每一个留学生的身份都查清楚只要家里有党员的孩子全部踢出去,让他们好好回国做贡献,永远没有权利出国,私生子这一块就有点难查了😄共产党官员私生子太多了,查不完,间谍太多😄

Seems nobody is watching anymore. Like New Year’s Eve by me right now and has been all day. I’llCU in July 👀

Yes because they hate pubs reopening looking to lock down as soon as possible. Phe are a disgrace mismanaged care homes from start

Good old practical Lincolnshire advice. Easy to understand. Just leaves the self entitled few to believe they are 'expectional'.

PILE UP the populations in the URBAN AREA to support land & rental SPECULATION, TRADE & TOURISM of mass, INTENSIVE agriculture... it's CRIMINAL =Endanger HUMAN LIFE or the personal SAFETY of OTHERS (criminal code) EVERYTHING MUST BE RETHOUGHT

MattHancock Wins the award for most sensible, straightforward statement. As ever whenever JT is part of the daily briefing

What about what the 4 experts who have now broken ranks are saying?....Or aren't you 'allowed' to ask the hard questions anymore?

so take advice from the scientists, when the scientists have said it’s too early to be easing lockdown restrictions anyway 🙄

He’s from Boston 😁 Boston bostonutd

Like domnic needs sacking Cummings did

Sound advice..but this weather coupled with DC being a shithouse i predict trouble..

BBC admitted today that only 7 out of 50 scientists raised concerns. We cannot eliminate the risk but if we do behave responsibly we can reduce it. MSM headline could have been 43 out of 50 scientists are backing the government’s move out of lockdown but still to be alert!

Tell that to Dominic...

Can the new slogan be “don’t rip the arse out of it”?

'It's the fault of the people - not Government - that over 150,000 died of Covid in 2020'. Says BBC News.

It’s back to normal in Kent

Oh for the love of god, get a sodding grip.

It’s over... everyone is doing as they please. He had a chance to keep people on board and he missed the chance.
