"Our evidence from all previous pandemics is you get two phases. So you get a first wave which is often very mild and then you get a much more serious wave that comes along in the autumn and the winter.
"So we have to not just deal with this outbreak now but prepare perhaps for a second phase further down the line."
Urging people to "have a good bank holiday" he added: "So far – because we've managed to get to people to isolate it, we've got the stock of antivirals for them and their families and the people they have met – I think it is contained.
"There will be more cases ... there's absolutely no doubt of that, but at the moment all the evidence is we can confine it, contain it and treat it effectively."
