LONDON (Reuters) – British Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Tuesday he was concerned about a sudden jump in the number of new coronavirus infections over the past two days, urging the public not to become complacent about social distancing.
“It is so important … that people take their responsibilities seriously and people don’t become relaxed about this virus,” Hancock told a parliamentary committee.
