According to the latest figures from the U.K. government (at 30/03/2020), there have been 22, 141 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 1,408 people have died.
However, it is noteworthy that the U.K. compares poorly with other high income countries — including Italy — in terms of available ICU bed capacity per capita, and so it is far from inconceivable that a similar pattern may emerge,” they write.
Officials closed all schools in England on March 20, 2020, and the U.K. government introduced stringent lockdown measures on March 23, 2020 to limit the transmission of the virus.
Research suggests that social distancing is an effective strategy for containing the spread of the virus.
However, it will likely take several weeks before the U.K. lockdown has any effect on the number of serious COVID-19 cases admitted to intensive care.
