Coronavirus lockdown could last for six months or more - Top Medic officer warns

Citizens of Britain have been warned that the coronavirus home lock-down could last for the next six months after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote to every household warning the 'national emergency' is going to get worse, with emphasis placed on social distancing, use of sanitizers and staying at home.



Boris Johnson, who is under isolation after testing positive to the virus, had previously voiced optimism that the UK can end the outbreak within '12 weeks' but medical professionals see that optimism as too far fetched after the official UK coronavirus death toll rose by 209 in the last 48 hours from 1,019 to 1,228.
