We must work together to stop coronavirus deaths and ‘flatten the curve’

Experts have warned that slowing the speed at which coronavirus hits the country could prove vital in preventing deaths – they call this ‘flattening the curve’.

Boris Johnson called coronavirus ‘the worst public health crisis for a generation’ as the UK’s leading health and science experts warned we must all do our bit to help ease pressure on the NHS in the weeks and months to come.

Announcing a move from the ‘containment’ phase into the ‘delay’ phase of the governement’s four-step battle plan against the disease, the PM said anyone with symptoms, however mild, such as a continuous cough or high temperature, must now stay at home for seven days.
