Government was ‘a week late’ with Covid interventions, says Christopher Wormald

Sir Christopher Wormald said the Government was a "week late" with all non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) leading to the first lockdown. He also said the November lockdown was implemented too late and that was his view at the time. He said: "With hindsight, we were at least a week late at all points of the NPI decisions. I agreed with the decisions at the time and timing. "But, looking back, we should have done each things on the 12th, 16th, 23rd ... at least a week earlier." He added: "In March, our lack of knowledge and understanding about the virus and taking decisions in considerable uncertainty. "That is not the case for the second lockdown. By this point, we have a lot of testing. We know a lot about the virus. We're not modelling, we basically know how it goes up and down."
