Unlocking in England presents ‘threat to the world’, health advisers warn

Clive Cookson

Plans to relax coronavirus restrictions in England next week present a “threat to the world” given the risk of new variants emerging, health advisers opposed to the unlocking have warned.

Current and former government advisers in countries including Israel, Italy, South Africa and Taiwan urged the UK prime minister Boris Johnson to “urgently reconsider” his plan to drop legal requirements such as mask wearing.

Participants in an online event on Friday organised by The Citizens, a group linked to Independent Sage, signed a declaration that said: “In a pandemic, the actions of each country impact others across the globe.

“The UK is one of the world’s leading travel hubs — any variant that becomes dominant there is likely to spread to the rest of the world.”

Infections are set to rise further as a result of the relaxation, which government ministers have justified on the grounds that coronavirus vaccines have weakened the link between hospitalisation and death.

Michael Baker, professor of public health at the University of Otago and an adviser to the New Zealand ministry of health, said: “It just seems so remarkable that you’re not following even basic public health principles here.”

Stephen Duckett, former secretary of Australia’s health department, said: “There is no reputable public health adviser of any kind who would recommend opening up at a time when the virus is spreading rapidly.”

The fourth and final stage of the government’s “roadmap” out of lockdown for England, which takes effect on July 19, “defies any logic, any science of any kind”, Duckett added.

Walter Ricciardi, president of the World Federation of Public Health Associations and Covid-19 advisor to the Italian minister of health, said the plans were “very difficult” to understand given the scientific expertise available in the UK

Αν οι Ευρωπαίοι τα πιστεύουν αυτά δεν έχουν παρά να ρίξουν άκυρο στο σουλάτσο των Εγγλέζων στην ΕΕ. Αλλά σιγά μην πάρει κάποιος την ευθύνη να δράσει.
