Scientists have predicted that the UK will be free of coronavirus by September. Researchers in Singapore have used complex modelling to determine the exact date that the crisis can be declared over in countries around the world.
Using data-driven estimates, they say that by September 30 the deadly bug will no longer be present in Britain, the Daily Star reports.
This puts the UK ahead of the US, which will not be free of coronavirus until November 11. However, Italy and Singapore are set to stamp out the disease first, where the crisis is expected to recede by August 12 and July 19 respectively.
Meanwhile, a leading professor at Oxford University has forecast that the UK's declining death rates could reach the stage of no fatalities
