UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to launch coronavirus threat level alert system in England
The alert tool - to be administered by a new"joint biosecurity centre" - will reflect the virus threat in different parts of the country, meaning the threat level in one city could differ quite widely from another.A meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee involving the cabinet, devolved nations and the mayor of London will be held before Mr Johnson's broadcast on Sunday evening, with the plans to be put before Parliament on Monday.
The communities secretary also told Marr a contact tracing app being trialled on the Isle of Wight had been downloaded by about 50,000 people. Prof Leitch reiterated what First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said earlier this week - that the key message for Scotland"remains 'stay at home'" - and added:"I think the messaging is really important.... the best protection for this virus is your front door. There isn't any question about that.
