“I am delighted to say that since the regulations came in on Saturday evening we saw a marked change in people’s behaviour from Sunday onward,” he said.
“This is about keeping people alive and protecting the NHS.”
“The law is a part of that but actually listening to trauma surgeons and healthcare professionals, the very simple advice is to stay at home. You should only not be staying at home unless it is absolutely essential.”
