UK may ban mass gatherings in the country as of next weekend because of the outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as COVID-2019, APA reports citing Sputnik.

“There are many complex considerations to make all these measures as effective as possible. We will make the right decisions at the right time based on the best scientific evidence”, the sources pointed out without elaborating.

The planned move was hailed by Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth who at the same time called on the government to be “clear” about its plans.

“If that means publishing the scientific modelling so that all the experts can analyse it and peer review it and stress test it, if that maintains public confidence, that's an important step”, he told the BBC.
