Coronavirus will kill Britons, the Chief Medical Officer has warned today as he said an epidemic is ‘highly likely’ as two more test positive in Scotland, bring the total number of UK cases to 53. Professor Chris Whitty (left) also told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that people wearing masks in public will have little effect on whether or not they catch Covid-19. He told the show’s presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid: ‘It’s much more likely than not that we’re going to deal with a significant epidemic.’ Professor Whitty went on to describe that an epidemic is ‘highly likely’ to hit the nation. He added: ‘If people have act got an infection and are being moved around a hospital then someone wearing masks is a good thing to do but for people just walking the streets it’s not going to have a significant effect.
