Due to the worsening of the Corona crisis in Britain, Johnson is again tightening protective measures for England. Pubs and restaurants must close by 10pm on Thursday at the latest. Also, only table service will be allowed.
The government is also expanding the requirement for masks: in the future, it will also be mandatory to wear a mask in taxis or shops, as well as in pubs or restaurants when you are not in your seat. Only weddings with 15 participants are allowed.
Johnson also urged workers to return to work from home if possible, a change after weeks of promoting a major “back to the office” campaign.
The country is at a “dangerous tipping point,” the prime minister said. In the past few days, 3,500 to 4,400 new cases have been added almost daily, and the number of infections more than doubled in seven days. If the virus continues to spread unhindered at the same rate, the UK could count nearly 50,000 cases a day by mid-October, health experts warn.
Philippines extends state of disaster for one year
In the Philippines, the coronavirus pandemic has been a disaster since March; now President Rodrigo Duterte has extended it for a year. This will allow authorities to control the prices of important supplies such as rice or cooking oil until September 2021. They can also access funds more quickly for emergencies. Quarantine regulations and distance rules remain in effect.
At the same time, Duterte announced that he would lift the travel ban for Filipino doctors, nurses and other health workers who have a labor contract abroad. Those who do not have that contract, however, must remain in the country for health care to remain safe there.
The Philippines now officially has more than 290,000 infections and nearly 5,000 deaths. Duterte rejected criticism that the government was doing too little. The Davao president, known for his frank language, said he couldn’t spray the Philippines with pesticides and kill everyone. “The only thing we can really do is put on a mask, a mask and that’s it, and wait for the vaccination,” he said.
Study: Depletion as a consequence of Covid-19 apparently widespread
Persistent tiredness and exhaustion could be fairly common consequences of surviving Covid-19 illnesses, according to a small study. Women are affected more often than men, report researchers working with Liam Townsend of Trinity College in the Irish capital, Dublin. Of the 128 patients included, just over half felt defeated for weeks after recovery. A connection to the severity of the disease was not recognized, as the team announced before a crown conference.
Participants were included in the analysis ten weeks after recovery on average. 67 percent of all subjects with fatigue syndrome were women. People who had previously been diagnosed with anxiety or depression were also affected more often. Of 67 people with persistent fatigue, nine had previously had anxiety or depression.
The participants were on average 50 years old. Experts ruled out any connection, for example, to levels of inflammation in the blood. She advocates investigating the phenomenon more closely. The researchers want to present their results at an online conference on the coronavirus, which will take place from September 23 to 25.
