England's deputy chief medical officer, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, said in a statement that the country is at a “tipping point similar to where we were in March.” The UK has experienced Europe's deadliest outbreak with more than 42,750 deaths.
Van-Tam laid out his hope that history won't repeat itself in light of better testing and treatments, as well as greater knowledge of the virus itself. Johnson is on Monday expected to impose additional restrictions in areas where the virus has been spreading fastest in recent weeks. Pubs and restaurants in northern cities like Liverpool for example are expected to be closed.
