The UK may have left it 'too late' to impose a coronavirus lockdown and stop millions of people getting COVID-19
The UK needs to 'radically change direction' and start doing far more tests for possible cases of the coronavirus, according to the former health secretary Jeremy Hunt.
But Jeremy Hunt, who served as health secretary for six years until 2018, told the House of Commons on Monday, shortly before the new measures were announced, that so-called "social distancing" measures alone would not be enough to contain the disease. Those countries have pursued an aggressive strategy of testing larger numbers of suspected coronavirus carriers than the UK, then isolating individual cases and tracing everyone they had been in contact with.
