LONDON, 13 Oct. - (ANA) - The government’s scientific advisers (SAGE) called for a short lockdown in England to halt the spread of Covid infections last month, newly released documents show. 

 

At a meeting on 21 September, the experts said an immediate “circuit breaker” was the best way to control cases. 

 

England’s Chief Medical Officer Chris Witty yesterday said the new three-tier measures “will not be sufficient” to slow coronavirus cases.  - (ANA) -
