Britain's National Health Service (NHS) could be "overwhelmed" by the coronavirus like the Italian health system in just two weeks, Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned in the face of rising numbers of deaths.
The death toll in Italy - the world's worst-hit country - reached almost 5,000 yesterday, while in Britain it hit 233. In a statement released by his office, Mr Johnson again urged people to stay at home to stop the spread of the virus. "The numbers are very stark, and they are accelerating.
We are only a matter of weeks - two or three - behind Italy," he said. "Unless we act together, unless we make the heroic and collective national effort to slow the spread - then it is all too likely that our own NHS will be similarly overwhelmed."
