Medical officer warns of 'baked in' deaths

Why has the system been developed?

Different parts of the country are experiencing differing rates of COVID-19 transmission, with the North West currently rising fastest.

The government has decided a local lockdown approach will be more effective than another national lockdown.

They will have to adhere to different rules depending on their case, hospital admission and death rates.
