Tony Blair warns coronavirus is here ‘for the foreseeable future’
Tony Blair has told Sky News the UK is going to be living with COVID-19, not eliminating it, for the foreseeable future.
He added that ” the problem is that if you just look in the last few days you’ve had surges of cases in Poland, Australia, Romania, Israel, Argentina, several other countries.
“So there’s a pattern developing which is that people go into lockdown, they ease the lockdown, but then there are significant spikes”.
He also urged Boris Johnson to put measures in place to contain and control the virus to prevent a new surge of cases in the autumn.
