British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday warned that a second wave of Covid-19 in Britain is "coming in", and his government may need to "intensify things to help bring the rate of infections down".

"We're now seeing a second wave coming in... clearly we are going to keep everything under review." Johnson said, adding that it was "inevitable" that coronavirus would hit the country again, Xinhua reported. During a visit to the Vaccines Manufacturing Innovation Centre construction site near Oxford, Johnson told reporters: "Obviously, we're looking very carefully at the spread of the pandemic as it evolves over the last few days and there's no question, as I've said for several weeks now, that we could expect (and) are now seeing a second wave coming in."
