    The UK Government asserts that its response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is based on evidence and expert modelling. However, different scientists can reach different conclusions based on the same evidence, and small differences in assumptions can lead to large differences in model predictions.

    • National UK programme of community health workers for COVID-19 response Andy Haines Enrique Falceto de Barros Anita Berlin David L Heymann Matthew J Harris Published:March 24, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30735-2 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic threatens to kill large numbers of people in the UK and to place unprecedented demands on the National Health Service (NHS). The case fatality rate is increased in older people and those with pre-existing disease and is reported to be about 20% in people with COVID-19 who are older than 80 years,1 although this does not take into account the under-reporting of mildly affected cases. There are about 8·8 million people aged 70 years or older in the UK and many others with health conditions that increase their vulnerability to COVID-19.

    • Prisons and custodial settings are part of a comprehensive response to COVID-19 Stuart A Kinner Jesse T Young Kathryn Snow Louise Southalan Daniel Lopez-Acuña Carina Ferreira-Borges et al. Show all authors Open AccessPublished:March 17, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2468-2667(20)30058-X Prisons are epicentres for infectious diseases because of the higher background prevalence of infection, the higher levels of risk factors for infection, the unavoidable close contact in often overcrowded, poorly ventilated, and unsanitary facilities, and the poor access to health-care services relative to that in community settings.1 Infections can be transmitted between prisoners, staff and visitors, between prisons through transfers and staff cross-deployment, and to and from the community. As such, prisons and other custodial settings are an integral part of the public health response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
