She said: “If people have cut down their social interactions, we would start to see a change in the graph."
“The peak will be pushed forward but the height will be lower and we can manage NHS hospital care safely.”
Brits are shaming their neighbours for ignoring strict government rules by phoning cops.
Cops have said the 101 line has become inundated after officers were given special powers to impose Boris Johnson’s string of drastic measures.
Anyone who flouts the new crackdown will face fines of up to £1,000 or even arrest.
Police now have the power to issue on-the-spot fines of £30 for meeting, with legislation expected to be passed later this week.
The Met Police confirmed: "Police will be out as usual patrolling the streets of London and will use today to speak to people about the new restrictions to help reduce the spread of COVID-19."
