Rory Stewart, the former international development secretary who is running as an independent in the London mayoral race, has also been an outspoken critic of the government's response and said it should have acted to close down schools and events weeks ago."Schools should be shut now.

"But there is a chance of getting on top of this. And that's where my biggest disagreement with the government comes."" people would die as a result of the coronavirus, but insisted that it was crucial to get the timing of the government's response right. Introducing drastic measures too early, he said, could have a counterproductive impact.
on Tuesday that the government had "lost control" of the situation and said it should have acted much more quickly."This talk of four stages - and we're now moving on from the containment thing - we've lost the plot here. We haven't taken the action we should have taken four or five weeks ago." "I am surprised that stronger measures haven't been introduced at this stage, but I anticipate that they will come in the next week or two."
