Dr Elizabeth Whittaker, senior clinical lecturer in paediatric infectious diseases at Imperial College London, said there could be localised shortages of antibiotics but it would only be temporary.

‘So there’s absolutely zero risk that seriously ill children will be in a position where they can’t be treated. That’s just not going to happen.’ ‘You do need to see a doctor to get those. Again, similarly to Covid, you can have a swab taken from your throat, which will take a day or two to get back. With the high rise in cases, Dr Robb has urged people to seek advice from the NHS rather than trying to self-diagnose.
