The release of key government documents on the Covid-19 response

The UK government released some of the documents from it’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) meetings and other supporting groups. Most of the papers come from the behavioural and modeling sub-committees. The UK government has been accused of a lack of transparency about this advice. We review the papers released around the decision to implement a full lockdown in the UK.

On the 2nd March, the SPI-M-O committee agreed that there was sustained transmission in the UK.
