Health secretary Matt Hancock has defended the decision to not start the coronavirus lockdown earlier, after a government scientific adviser said the delay cost lives.

Hancock said today that the government “took the right decisions at the right time” and that no people lost their lives by not locking down earlier.

The UK went into lockdown on 23 March, which was comparatively late compared to other western European countries.

There was confusion at the time over whether the UK would lock down or adopt a model similar to Sweden, which has avoided a lockdown in an attempt to establish “herd immunity” to Covid-19.

Professor John Edmunds, a member of the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), told the BBC today that the delay in locking down “cost a lot of lives unfortunately”.

The UK coronavirus death toll surpassed 40,000 on Friday, putting the country only behind the US in total number of fatalities.

However, Hancock denied that any lives were lost due to not locking down earlier or that any mistakes had been made.
