BREAKING: Matt Hancock insists UK is 'on the road' to 100,000 tests a day
Many European countries including Austria who are beginning to lift their lockdown measures have insisted people wear face masks on public transport and in other circumstances as a preventative measure.
Deputy chief medical officer for England Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said Sage was keeping the evidence under review and would change the advice if they felt the evidence warranted that.He added: ‘There is an absolutely enduring principle here that Sage places great value and prime importance on never jeopardising the supplies of PPE to our health and social care workers. That is a line that we are not going to cross.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said the Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies is reviewing evidence on wearing face masks Addressing concerns about hospital resources, capacity and the supply of PPE, Hancock said: ‘There are 2,963 spare beds across the NHS. At no point in this crisis has anyone who could benefit from critical care been denied that care because there weren’t enough staff or beds or ventilators to treat them. But there is much further to go.
