According to the latest figures released by the Department of Health yesterday, there are now 834 patients with the virus currently being treated in hospital, 72 of whom require a ventilator.

The document put together by the Cabinet Office’s EU Transition Task Force also warns of price hikes, power outages, water rationing, and animal disease tearing through the countryside due to a shortage of medicines.
