MINISTER, MAYOR FIGHT OVER CRUSH IN LONDON’S TUBE

LONDON Britain’s health minister and London’s mayor were at odds on Tuesday over whether the city’s transport system could run more services as commuters travelled on packed tube carriages despite warnings to keep apart. London has seen the most cases of coronavirus in Britain. Health Minister Matt Hancock said there was no reason why the transport system should be operating fewer trains.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said it’s almost impossible to add more tube services because many staff were sick or forced to self-isolate.
