The UK will not be "back to normal' for six months or longer, one of the government's top medical advisors has warned. Deputy chief medical officer Dr Jenny Harries told a Downing Street press conference that it could be six months or longer before the country gets back to normal from the coronavirus pandemic.
She said that the Coronavirus lockdown measures will be reviewed every three weeks going forward. Dr Harries said that the lockdown could last "between three to six months" but warned it was "plausible that it could go longer than that".
The announcement came after Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said the length of the lockdown is not fixed but depends on the behaviour of the public.
