Commenting on the PSA decision today, NHS medical director Mr Powis has encouraged a tougher approach.
Here is a summary of the briefing led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and NHS England medical director Stephen Powis.
“If we do not take measures to control the spread of the virus, the death toll will be too great to bear,” said Powis.
But at today's press briefing, Mr Powis blasted these revellers and said it was 'absolutely crucial' that 'everybody' followed advice on reducing social contact.
Mr Powis said that 20,000 deaths related to coronavirus would be a good result for the UK.
NHS England medical director Stephen Powis told the briefing there were "reasons to be hopeful" - including that there is early evidence the transmission rate had fallen to below one, meaning each infected person infects less than one person.
