Some scientists fear that Britain is on course for a second wave of coronavirus, not helped by some people holding parties and large gatherings after Johnson announced a further easing of England's lockdown in early July, when pubs and restaurants can reopen.
"My concerns with the UK government are sometimes less with the substance ... I'm more concerned that the messaging ... seems much more that it's all over and you can go back to doing everything as you did before," Mark Drakeford, the first minister of Wales, told Sky News.
Patel said people should still follow the guidelines.
"It's important that the public realise that this virus has not disappeared at all," she said. "We are still in a health emergency ... People need to follow the guidance."
