Len Duvall OBE AM, Chair of the London Assembly Oversight Committee, said:
“It’s becoming increasingly clear that COVID-19 is going to become an even bigger issue for London over the coming days, weeks, and unfortunately months. Our city has seen an increase in people needing tests and hospital beds. Patients being admitted to ICU is also on the rise.
“London is now on the Government’s watchlist. I urge Londoners to keep a close eye on Government advice. We must protect lives and our NHS by obeying the rules. Everyone wants our war with COVID-19 to be over but it’s far from that. We must do the right thing and protect our city and each other from this horrible disease. By washing our hands, sticking to social distancing, and wearing a face covering we will all be doing our bit to stop the spread of the virus.”
