-Daily deaths now at Reasonable Worst Case levels & 'highly likely' to exceed them within 2 weeks

Significant warning from govt scientific advisers on household mixing:
-'The frequency of interhousehold contacts needs to be reduced to curtail transmission, whereas limiting group size alone has only a marginal effect'.

SAGE say flaws in Test & Trace affect their work:
-'Recent operational issues' with T&T 'have exacerbated the level of uncertainty' in estimates.
-Testing demand 'not being met' & testing delays make it 'difficult to interpret trends' & add uncertainty to modelling.
