in the past hour, the government's chief medical officer for england, professor dame sally davies hasresponding to concerns from the public. i want to reassure the general public the risks to us all from this incident in salisbury has not changed, and remains low based on the evidence we have, as i said on wednesday. rigorous scientific analysis has been ongoing and continues. but we have now learned there has been some trace contamination by the nerve agent in both the mill pub and zizzi restaurant in salisbury. i am confident that this has not harmed the health of anyone who was in the mill pub or zizzi restaurant. however, some people are concerned that prolonged long—term exposure to these substances may, over weeks and particularly months, give rise to health problems. i am therefore advising, as a belt and braces approach, the people who were in either zizzi restaurant or the mill pub from 1:30pm last sunday, until evening closing on monday, should clean the clothes they wore and the possessions they handled while there. the relevant closing times on monday were 9pm for zizzi an

professor sally davies, the chief medical officer, stated yesterday that, based on the evidence we have the use of a nerve agent on uk soil is a brazen and reckless act. this was attempted murder in the most cruel and public way. people are right to want to know who to hold to account. but, if we are to be rigorous in this investigation, we must avoid speculation, and allow the police to carry on their investigation. as the assistant commissioner said yesterday, the investigation now involves hundreds of officers following every possible lead to find those responsible. some of those leads have come from members of the public. i'd like to thank the people of salisbury for their help and the calm they have shown over the last four days. i encourage anyone who visited salisbury town centre and surrounding areas on sunday afternoon and who has not yet spoken to the police to get in touch. we are committed to doing all that we can to bring the perpetrators to justice, whoever they are and wherever they may be. the investigation is moving at pace, and this government will act without hesitati
