Questions

How safe is it to lift lockdown? We can carefully move to second wave with strict monitoring

Prisons,how can we manage that? We have a plan and are confident it is under control

Media

Scotland won't move away from stay at home measure,are you sure it is ok to move away from that? No change in the rules for the weekend,uk wide approach if each area moved at slightly different speed

Manchester says they are not ready to lift restrictions

What is the R in each region ? Lowest in london,don't have the rest to hand

Transmission in care home and community continuing ? Overall number of Deaths down in last week in care homes ,still a big challenge on all fronts

Black and ethnic adults more likely to die,how would you protect front line workers ? should they be shielding ?Waiting on public heath data

Public have mixed messages on going out this weekend? Whatever is in the papers is not reliable,rules still apply,next phase actions will be monitored and if neccessary we can put restrictions back

Where is boris to explain what is different between today and mon? It will be a road map on Sunday

Temperature testing in the UK? Not a very reliable way of testing up till now at airports or restaurants etc,a third of people do not present with a temperature

20,000 new infections every day ? R higher than two weeks ago says a maths chap? New data for maths folks to look at all the time ,our CMO is happy with his figures
R number is only relevant with prevalence number,care home it is higher and keeping R up,testing in care homes is increasing

R has gone up a little

Lots of new data all the time for different risks factors,who has no symptoms,what symptoms covid has

Warm weather and covid? Still learning about it,we thought it would act the same but not much evidence to say it will be better,more concern going into winter,everyone get your flu jabs

People using app having to go into isolation multiple times ? Days it is freeing to know whether you have it or not(didn't understand the answer)

Where are people catching the virus ? Care homes and hospitals are the most concern still,can't say exactly where people are picking it up but home infection is quite evident in the data

Testing relatives who want to visit care homes ? Movement of people in and out is the main thing,testing being increased
