Health leaders are calling for an urgent review to ensure Britain is properly prepared for the “real risk” of a second wave of coronavirus.
In an open letter to the leaders of all the UK political parties, published in the British Medical Journal, the health leaders call for a “rapid and forward-looking assessment” of the state of national preparedness.
The appeal is backed by the presidents of the Royal Colleges of Physicians, Surgeons, GPs and Nursing, and the chair of the British Medical Association
“While the future shape of the pandemic in the UK is hard to predict, the available evidence indicates that local flare-ups are increasingly likely and a second wave a real risk,” they said.
