Johnson outlined the emergency measures after meeting with health chiefs as UK cases keep rising.
 “The government is playing roulette with the public,” Richard Horton, editor of the British medical journal The Lancet, said on Twitter. Officials have been too slow to implement measures to delay the spread of the virus, including canceling events and “social distancing,” he said.
 Eight people have died in the U.K. from the virus, which has so far been confirmed in 590 of the 29,764 people tested.
 The pound slumped against the dollar on Thursday, while the U.K.’s benchmark stock index is down almost 30% in a month.
 U.K.’s health secretary Johnson’s Conservative Party, questioned the government’s approach. “We now have more reported cases in this country than there were in Wuhan when it went into lock down,” he told Parliament late Wednesday. Stewart said on Twitter. “If we do not act, we could have 100,000 cases in 24 days.”
 COVID-19 usually presents only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, and the vast majority of people recover.
