Our chief medics are calling for the [re-introduction of ‘Plan B’ measures* in England](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58976577) and UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid says [Covid cases could reach 100,000 a day this winter.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-58978351) We’re currently getting just shy of 50,000 a day at the moment and that is apparently considered “not unsustainable”.
*Plan B measures =
* Introducing mandatory Covid passports
* Making face coverings compulsory again
* Advising people to work from home
* “Communicating clearly and urgently to the public that the level of risk has increased, and that they need to behave more cautiously”
