Please see the advice taken from Boris Johnsons social media pages.
We can send coronavirus packing in this country, but only if we take the required steps to reduce the peak. Once we’ve achieved that, then the scientific progress that we are making will really come into play.
We’re getting better at testing. This crisis is so difficult because the enemy is invisible. The answer is to remove the cloak of invisibility to identify the virus, and to be able to know which of us is carrying it and who has actually had it and got over it.
It is absolutely vital that we follow the advice:
Stay at home if you have the symptoms, or if your family has the symptoms.
Avoid unnecessary contact.
Avoid pubs, bars and restaurants.
Work from home, if you possibly can.
And wash your hands.
And it’s by this combination of ruthless, determined, collective action, and scientific progress, that we’re already seeing that we will succeed.
If we do this together, we will save many many thousands of lives.
I say to business, stand by your employees, stand by your workers, because we will stand by you.
I have absolutely no doubt that we will turn the tide of this disease and beat it together.
