Read our privacy policy Downing Street has failed to deny explosive claims that Boris Johnson privately said the UK should “ignore” the spread of Covid-19 when the virus first emerged a year ago. The prime minister warned an “overreaction” to the threat emerging as China imposed the world’s first lockdown could do more harm than good, the BBC report said. He was also told to follow government advice to stop shaking hands – only to infamously then say, of his visit to Covid patients in hospital: “I’ve shaken hands with everybody.” Boris Johnson attacked over ‘shocking’ plan to increase nuclear warheads - live What are the new powers to ‘manage’ protests in the police bill? The prime minister was even heard to say of coronavirus: “The best thing would be to ignore it,” the report claimed – as it became clear there was no ‘Emergency break-the-glass’ plan to unveil.
