YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Boris Johnson has revealed his coronavirus 'battle plan' to try to contain and delay the virus. The plan details what the government might do if and when the virus spreads. LBC has looked into the 40 page plan and explained the parts you need to know.

In a worst case scenario, up to 80% of the population could become infected, with people in hospital with pneumonia.

Up to one in five workers in the UK could be off sick during a coronavirus peak, while the police may switch to only dealing with serious crime, a new Government battle plan says.

The 27-page document sets out the UK-wide response to Covid-19, with possible measures including the cancellation of non-urgent operations and retired NHS staff being called “back to duty”.

The Government’s battle plan was set out before Health Secretary Matt Hancock revealed that the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus in the UK has risen to 51.

Twelve new cases were recorded in the UK as of 9am on Tuesday, officials said, including two in Bury and another in Bolton.

The other cases were confirmed in London, Hampshire, Northamptonshire, Wirral, Humberside and Kent.
