Sir Patrick stressed that it was important to continue with The Social -distancing measures to ensure a reduction in The Number of new cases.
Commenting on the latest virus-death figures, The Bbc head of statistics Robert Cuffe Said that if it was a "Silver Lining to these dismal numbers", it is that they represent "The Fourth day in a row of below-trend growth".
"For weeks, until Friday, the figures, The Number of deaths was already every three days and a half doubled," He Said . "To continue this trend, we would have seen close to 1,400 deaths today.
"So, 786, is better than that, although it is still too early to know what caused it. It could be a big bottleneck in the Reporting - we have seen that after the previous week ends - or real evidence that the growth is really slowing down.
"hopefully More, for almost a week, every day, new cases have been stable at about 4,000 per day, suggesting that, while We Are still seeing new cases, the growth in this figure, the stalling. "
