England's Chief Medical Officer made the comments after the U.K. recorded its highest number of new daily cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday.
There is no reassurance that the number of COVID-19 deaths in the country won't spike according to England's Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty. He made the comments at what was the 100th COVID-19 briefing since the pandemic hit the U.K., with the country experiencing a second wave of the virus.
"Once exponential growth starts... things go very quickly. We are going up from a base, the tail of the first wave, in terms of deaths still occurring and these deaths on top so it's not a straight like-for-like comparison.
