At the UK's daily government briefing, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has been talking about the current alert level on the five-point scale.
“That’s decided independently by the Biosecurity Centre and we’ll take their advice on the alert level, but that’s not decided by the politicians," he said.
On 3 June, Chris Whitty, chief medical officer for England referred to “the alert level, which is set independently… by the Joint Biosecurity Centre advising the four chief medical officers”.
The idea of the Joint Biosecurity Centre is to bring together expertise from scientists and from across government to track the rates of infection across the country.
While ministers do not set the alert level, they do decide when aspects of lockdown may be eased.
