Doctor Hilary Jones has claimed it is only a matter of time before the country goes back into full lockdown.
The Good Morning Britain resident doctor was reacting to the latest measures to be imposed in France and Germany.
France will enter a second lockdown from Friday and Germany has imposed a four-week partial lockdown.

Yet despite the second wave of Covid-19 apparently reaching a "critical stage" in England, the Government continues to resist more stringent measures.
Ben Shephard asked Dr Hilary for his opinion on the matter.
He said: "Do you think Hilary, bearing in mind the situation in Germany and France, do you think it's only a matter of time before we go back into full lockdown?"
Dr Hilary said: "I'm afraid I do because we're not adequately and quickly controlling the number of cases - they're still rising.
"So yes we've put some areas into Tier 3 and the situation would be worse if we hadn't done that.
What have you missed most in lockdowns so far?
"And other areas we've still got fairly lax regulations that allow six people from different households to get together.
"That was never, in my opinion, going to be a very sensible way forward and unless we stop different households getting together, the R rate is going to increase and the situation is going to get worse.
"So I think yes we have to be more draconian and I'm sure people understand that in order to control the virus this is what has to be done."
