Coronavirus outbreak: Boris Johnson says COVID-19 containment ‘extremely unlikely to work on its own’

Speaking to reporters at a press conference on Monday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the approach the British government is taking to combat the COVID-19 spread is to “contain, delay, research and mitigate.” He added the UK is still in the “contain” phase while the country has reported 4 deaths due to coronavirus so far. Johnson also said that the government is preparing various actions to slow the spread of the disease.
