England is on track for about 50,000 coronavirus cases a day by mid-October and a surging death toll unless the public gets serious about preventive action, top UK advisers warned on Monday.
Rates of infection in England are replicating the strong resurgence of Covid-19 seen in France and Spain, roughly doubling every seven days, government chief medical officer Chris Whitty said.
"We are seeing a rate of increase across the great majority of the country," he told a media briefing, urging the public to respect stricter guidelines on social distancing after widely shared pictures of young revellers out in British cities.
"This is not someone else's problem. It's all of our problem."
The briefing previewed an announcement by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday detailing government action to flatten the exponential coronavirus curve heading in to winter, when regular respiratory diseases typically spike.
Steps under consideration reportedly include closing down pubs in England again from this weekend, after widely shared pictures of young revellers out in force in British cities, and the government says another full national lockdown might be necessary.
Almost 42,000 people who have tested positive for Covid-19 have died in Britain, the worst death toll from the pandemic in Europe.
After a summer lull -- when the government urged the public to frequent pubs and restaurants -- cases have been rising rapidly to reach some 6,000 daily, according to one survey by government statisticians.
