'It would be completely unfair to expect [the NHS] to carry on in the conditions they’re currently working with the number of cases they’ve got by coming out of lockdown because people are getting bored.'
’s resident physician Dr Hilary Jones has warned that coming out of lockdown too early would be ‘disastrous’.
Speaking alongside Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on today’s show about when the nation can expect to leave quarantine, he made it clear that with the recent numbers of fatalities, it would be ‘unfair’ on NHS frontline staff to lift the sanction before necessary. ‘In the last 24 hours we saw the highest number of cases, the highest number of fatalities we’ve had so far,’ Dr Hilary began. ‘So although the trend is slowing, it’s still growing.‘We’re not at the peak yet, it’s estimated the peak was going to be this Easter weekend, but it could be beyond that. but it’s certainly too early to talk about coming out of lockdown, in my opinion.’
He continued: ‘We’re getting more cases, we’ve got an exhausted NHS workforce. it would be completely unfair to expect them to carry on in the conditions they’re currently working with the number of cases they’ve got by coming out of lockdown because people are getting bored. ‘We need to take this seriously. We need people to hang in there. It’s being reviewed all the time. Coming out of lockdown too early would be disastrous.’Dr Hilary’s comments come after Michael Gove
