(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 20 - In the face of the surge in the coronavirus infection "the government of Boris Johnson should activate plan B for the winter". This is underlined by NHS Providers, which represents the hospitals of the English health service, central and local, and the ambulance services. Other Kingdom health experts go further, stating that a 'plus' plan B is now absolutely necessary.
Last September, the British government had developed a strategy (Plan B) for the winter if the situation of the virus worsened.
The call from the health authorities is to immediately reintroduce certain restrictions, a hypothesis currently excluded by the London government.
In an interview with Sky news, Undersecretary for Commerce Kwasi Kwarteng also rejected the hypothesis of possible lockdowns.
"At the moment I don't see the need to change our strategy," he said.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Health Sajid Javid has called a press conference on Covid at 5 pm local time, 6 pm Italian time.
