Pat McFadden announced that blue light services, senior ministers, and representatives from nations will be involved in a test of pandemic preparedness, aiming to bolster the UK against future crises.
The Emergency Alert System (EAS) will be tested later this year, allowing an alarm to sound through mobile phones as part of steps taken in response to the Covid inquiry recommendations.
Baroness Hallett stressed the need for more frequent pandemic preparedness exercises, recommending they occur every three years to ensure the UK can respond effectively to future crises.
Mr. McFadden emphasized the importance of learning from the Covid pandemic, stating, 'We cannot afford to make the same mistakes again' while highlighting new measures for resilience.
