One of Britain’s top scientists and a member of Independent Sage, a group of scientists who provide independent advice to the UK government, have said thousands more people will now be infected in the new year.
Dr Zubaida Haque has today questioned on social media, why the government haven’t placed the whole country into the strictest tier of Covid-19 restrictions in a move that would save lives.
“Given that we surpassed 70,000 #COVID19 deaths in UK on Christmas Day, and there are now more patients with coronavirus in hospital than at any point in the pandemic, why hasn’t the government implemented #tier4 restrictions everywhere in the UK? @IndependentSage are very worried.
“Given the crisis situation we’re in with the highest number of daily deaths with #COVID19 in 2nd wave, with 1000’s more likely to be infected because of relaxation of rules in tier 1-3 on Christmas Day AND failed govt’s test & trace system, we need #tier4 everywhere now to save lives.”
Do you think the whole country should move to Tier 4 immediately?
