Next weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic will be the worst: UK chief medical adviser
New Delhi: The British government’s Chief medical advisor Chris Whitty on Monday said “The next few weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic will be the worst as the new highly infectious variants of the virus rampage across the country.”
A few days back Prime Minister of UK – Boris Johnson has imposed a new ‘stay-at-home’ lockdown till at least mid-February to stop the spread of coronavirus and its new variant in the country
Chris Whitty further added that “What we need to do before the vaccines have had their effect, because it will take several weeks before that happens, we need to really double down.”
The new, more transmissible variant of this disease is spreading rapidly across the country and having tragic consequences, Chris added.
On Monday – four Chief Medical officers of the UK (United Kingdom) and the NHS Medical Director recommended raising the national alert level to the maximum of level 5 for the first time.
PM Johnson also expressed tension on new coronavirus spread in the UK because Hospitals in the UK are under more pressure from Covid-19 than at any time.
The UK have faced several grave moments during our battle against coronavirus but now, the country is perhaps facing the most serious yet.
Some special research and studies have revealed that people disturbed mentally in the long coronavirus lockdown period.
Social workers and some helpers are trying to reduce the stress of local people and say “These restrictions will not last forever. Science has delivered new vaccines, drugs and tests, with more on the way, in record time. People will be reunited. Vaccines and new treatments offer us hope and a clear way out. But we are not there yet, and should not act as if we are.”
