London is inching closer to Level 3 lockdown, the highest available in Britain, as the R number is thought to be approaching 3 in the British capital.
An R number of 3 is exceedingly high, as it means that an infected individual is passing the disease on to three other people.
Local health authorities estimate that the rate of infection is doubling every three days, and that the disease is close to being out of control.
