UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced England wide lockdown on Monday.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that Nearly 56 million people in England will return to a full coronavirus lockdown, possibly until mid-February, to try to cut spiraling infection rates.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that as of Monday, almost 27,000 people with Covid were in the hospital, which is 40 percent more than at the peak of the first wave of the outbreak in April last year.
“With most of the country already under extreme measures, it’s clear that we need to do more, together, to bring this new variant under control while our vaccines are rolled out. In England, we must therefore go into a national lockdown,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a televised address, announcing the lockdown.
The new measures in the UK are similar to those during the first, three-month lockdown from late March to June last year. They include the closure of schools, working from home wherever possible, limits on leaving home, except for exercise, essential shopping, and medical supplies, and no household mixing.
