[The modelling has not yet been seen by
ministers,
who are expected to make a decision early next week,
potentially as soon as Monday,
on extra restrictions.
The work was completed before the
latest data suggesting the Omicron variant
may produce less severe illness than the
Delta strain of coronavirus.

A consensus paper by the
Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group
on Modelling, Operational sub-group (Spi-M-O) published
today said 'rapidly enacted Step 2 measures
reduce the peak of hospital pressure to about
half its level under Plan B only'.
It also included a model examining the impact
'non-mandated behaviour change' would
have if it reduced mixing by half the amount
that Step 2 would achieve.]
