I have three questions. If Dr. Nabarro could answer them in the time available, I would appreciate it. Is there any emerging analysis to say there could be a seasonal element to Covid-19 and that we could see strong re-emergence of it in the winter? Dr. Nabarro seems to be a strong advocate for the use of face coverings being necessary on public transport and in shops. Can he point to any examples of countries that he would describe as being the best in class for their face coverings policies? Where are we in the context of a vaccine and the timelines relating thereto?
