(ANSA) – LONDON, OCTOBER 31 – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced today the entry into force as of next week of a national blockade bis across England to try to curb the second wave of coronavirus infections unleashed in the country as in other parts of Europe after the summer. However, the restriction, unlike in the spring, does not include the closure of schools and universities: it is scheduled from Thursday, November 5 to December 2. “If we do not act now” we run the risk of having “thousands of deaths a day” in a few weeks, Johnson said at a news conference, in that case evoking “a moral disaster” for the health service (NHS) and the country. The prime minister defended the choice of local restrictions adopted in recent weeks, underlining “the costs of the confinement”, but given new data, he formalized the go-ahead for the encierro bis as of Thursday, again inviting the population to “stay in House”. .
