The MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis released their latest report on the COVID-19 outbreak today at 5pm. Journalists came to the SMC to hear the authors explain their findings.
We also streamed the Downing Street press conference live in our briefing room for the journalists and straight afterwards authors presented the report findings and answered any questions.
Speakers included:
On the report:
Prof Azra Ghani, Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Imperial College London.
Prof Neil Ferguson, Professor of Mathematical Biology, Imperial College London.
On other things:
Prof Paul Hunter, Professor in Medicine, University of East Anglia (UEA).
This Briefing was accompanied by an SMC Roundup of Comments
