So now the Government is going to ban mass gatherings having done a complete upturn from 24 hours ago.

It's not a U-Turn, it was part of their plan as announced last week.

"The government's action plan - published last week - did raise the possibility of reducing the number of large-scale gatherings.

However, the most recent tactics announced on Thursday advised people to self-isolate for seven days if they have a cough or fever.

The UK's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance previously said that shutting down mass events would not have a "big effect" on transmission rates, but he did not rule out such a move going forward.

Whitehall sources said the government's approach has not changed but there are concerns about the burden that large events might put on health services and the police.

It is thought a ban could start to take effect as early as next weekend, although exact timescales are not clear."

I think there has been some very irresponsible reporting going on regarding this situation and it's not helpful.
