Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

Dr Thomas House, from the University of Manchester, said: 'This study uses robust methods to estimate the trajectory of the epidemic in different regions.  

'It is not the case that we can tell from this data that the number of new cases in London is down to 24 – this was modelling fitted to deaths and predictions will change due to the changes announced last Sunday.'
