Sir Jeremy Farrar and Professor John Edmunds, both members of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), which advises the Government on the pandemic, have said ministers were taking risks by following through with their current plans.

There may be light at the end of the tunnel today for London as new modelling suggests the capital’s coronavirus outbreak is slowing dramatically.
The research by Public Health England and Cambridge University suggests the reproduction rate of the virus, the ‘r’ is now at 0.4 in the capital. Meaning for every ten people who catch coronavirus, it will be passed on to just four others.
The research estimates that new daily infections in the capital are now at just 24
Before the lockdown, London’s r rate was around 2.8, with 213,000 people being infected a day by March 23rd, when the lockdown was imposed.
Brits in England are now officially being encouraged, if they cannot work from home, to return to their jobs.
The government hopes to kickstart the economy after seven weeks of lockdown while keeping the coronavirus at bay through social distancing in workplaces and public transport.
Today workers were given the green light to head out of lockdown if they couldn’t do their job from home – with thousands cramming onto public transport during rush hour.
While Brits were urged not to use buses and trains unless they absolutely have to, worrying pictures show people packed onto busy Tubes.
The easing of circuit-breaker measures by Singapore on May 12 should not be taken as an opportunity to go out more, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong cautioned. “I know some people may not have had a haircut for some time, but there is no need to rush to go out to have a haircut on May 12. There will be time to do so,” he said at a press conference on Friday (May 8). https://cna.asia/2YJiJWx

The Prime Minister will make a statement on Sunday setting out his plans to ease the lockdown. Boris Johnson said some changes will come into force the next day.
Ministers have hinted that the construction sector should return to work wherever possibleand that offices, public spaces and transport systems should be adapted to maintain safety and distancing.
Meanwhile new official evidence on the economic impact of the lockdown are due to be announced.
Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting from Alex Forsyth at Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire — and from Economics Editor Faisal Islam.
While we have to wait until Sunday to find out how our lockdown will be eased, the process is starting today in Italy – the first European country to bring in restrictions.
Its sleeping economic life – and social life – for that matter have started to stir.
And it is happening in other places too today.
In Spain, small shops are able to reopen, including hairdressers – wouldn’t that be lovely – bookshops, florists and takeaways.
In Portugal too small shops can open again and people are allowed to travel on public transport so long as they wear masks.
Eased coronavirus restrictions are “not too far away”, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says, adding there is one thing all Australians need to do to speed up the process.
