The UK government ordered a shortcut in England on Monday to curb the rapid spread of the new version of the coronavirus, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced in an evening television address.
According to the provisions, from Tuesday everyone can leave home only in special cases, such exceptions are shopping, work (not done from home), sports, health reasons. The restriction will also not apply to those who want to escape domestic violence, writes the BBC. Distance education will also be compulsory in schools, except for children whose conditions are not guaranteed or whose parents work in vital sectors.
Non-vital stores close, restaurants can stay open, but they can only provide takeout or deliver, but not even in this case. Sports with only one person living in another household are allowed, but not more than once a day. Churches can stay open, but must follow distance rules, and playgrounds can stay open, but outdoor sports fields, tennis courts, and golf courses cannot. Legislation on the new provisions is likely to be voted on on Wednesday, but the prime minister has said it will take effect from zero on Tuesday.
In England, the number of hospital admissions for coronavirus has risen by 50 percent since Christmas, with three out of ten beds on covid patients. However, what really worries the government and health professionals is that the numbers will continue to rise. A BBC journalist notes that in the spring, only the number of hospital admissions peaked in the third week after the shutdown.
Boris johnson In his speech he pointed out that the next few weeks will be the most difficult, but he is sure that this is already the last stage of the fight, because as more and more people are vaccinated, it will be easier for us to fight against Covid. The prime minister hopes that if all goes well, by mid-February all of the four main groups will receive the first dose of the vaccine, and this will begin to ease restrictions.
