Britain is facing criticism that it isn't not doing enough to tackle the epidemic crisis. FMTNews UK Johnson
Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson holding a news conference on the coronavirus outbreak.
Plans are being drawn up for curbing some everyday activities, and asking people over the age of 70 to stay home, potentially for months. “Preparing for the spread of the coronavirus outbreak is a national priority and we’re calling on the manufacturing industry and all those with relevant expertise who might be able to help to come together to help,” Johnson’s office said in a statement.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps on Monday defended the government approach, saying ministers are being led by their scientific and medical advisers, and pointing out the outbreak isn’t as advanced yet as in other European countries. Johnson’s team also came under fire for not being open enough about its plans after favoured media outlets were briefed about the details rather than information being made publicly available.
