Coronavirus Health Of The People Quote

The day after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed the nation with his roadmap for the coming weeks and months during the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown, is the inscription ‘The Health of the People is the Highest Law’ - a quote translated from the Latin, of Roman philosopher Cicero's ‘De Legibus’ speech: “Salus populi suprema lex esto." The quote is above the main doorway of Walworth Clinic on Walworth Road in south London, a 1937 Grade II listed Art Deco building whose concept predated the establishment of the National Health Service, on 11th May 2020, in London, England.
