Social distance is only the way to stop the covid19

The UK government's emergency committee is meeting to consider implementing social distancing measures to tackle coronavirus


The prime minister is set to chair an emergency COBRA meeting before addressing the media over the pandemic on Monday, alongside chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty and chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.
Any announcement of new measures will likely come during the first of what will become daily televised news conferences featuring the PM or one of his senior minister 
One measure that is not expected to be included at this stage is school closures.

The PM's official spokesperson said the scientific advice is it is "not a step we should be taking at this moment in time" but equally is "not something that we have ever ruled out".
The plans to hold daily televised briefings to update the public come after Mr Johnson received criticism over an apparent lack of transparency in the fight against COVID-19 - the prevalent strain of coronavirus.


On Monday, 1,543 people had tested positive for covid19 - and figures from Sunday show 35 people in the UK have died since being diagnosed.]
