Sadiq Khan has said London may be “two to four week away from the peak” of coronavirus cases.

The peak refers to when the largest number of people will have the virus and when the highest number of deaths will be recorded, according to Khan.

LBC’s Ian Payne asked the London mayor when experts think the peak of the pandemic will be for the capital, which is said to be two weeks ahead of the rest of the country.

Khan said: “It’s not an exact science I’m afraid so when I ask the clinicians, the scientists, the medics, they explain to me, normal modelling you do doesn’t work cause each country is different and the pace of this virus is faster than we would expect.”

“Also what complicates matters is the behavioural change we’re now got in place for the last week or so, we don’t see the benefits for about two weeks.”
