UK Scientists predict winter wave of COVID-19 to bring about 120,000 Fatalities - Reports

Moscow, July 14 (Sputnik) - UK scientists believe that the winter wave of COVID-19 will be more serious than the first and may result in about 120,000 new fatal cases if the authorities fail to take urgent action to avoid the epidemic, media reported on Tuesday, citing a scientific report.
According to the report requested by UK's chief scientific adviser, Patrick Vallance, and obtained by BBC, scientists suggest that in the worst-case scenario, the winter wave of coronavirus will result in up to 251,000 fatalities, while the minimum amount of victims will be about 24,500.
"The modelling suggests that deaths could be higher with a new wave of Covid-19 this winter. But the risk of this happening could be reduced if we take action immediately," professor Stephen Holgate, a respiratory specialist from University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust, who chaired the report, said, as quoted by the broadcaster.
