Coronavirus, Johnson: “The closure continues. Quarantine for travelers, except the French”

“This is not the time to end the blockade”. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson eliminates reopenings in the United Kingdom, granting only some movement possibilities mainly for of work and in family. However, stores and schools will not open before June. Then the British Prime Minister announced that, “thanks to his sacrifices we are now in a position to start moving towards level 3 “ alert from level 4 for emergency coronavirus. Therefore, Johnson emphasized that “everyone will have a role to play in celebrating the factor R (the contagion rate) low, being careful and following the rules. “

“We must Keep alert, check the virus and save lives, “he added. So, the one who at the beginning of the emergency had cherished the hypothesis ofcollective immunitysaid: “It is a fact that by adopting the Containment measures we prevent this country from being swallowed by what could have been one catastrophe where would have been the worst case half a million dead “.

In the next two months, then, the British government’s decisions will be guided by “the science, data and public health, not out of hope or financial needFrom politics, however, yes, given the distinctions announced by French travelers who will not be subject to the restrictions of others. As for the immediate, the small relaxation of restrictions, also for the funin the UK will start from Wednesday. The limitations fall for theindividual exercise outdoors you can sunbathe in parks, drive the car to other destinations in the city, group sports but only with members of the same family. forever “Respecting the distance” and with controls and fines heavier “for the few who break the rules.”

They have already changed since Monday instead the indications on of work, especially in thebuilding and in themanufacturing industry. Johnson specified that the recommendation It will no longer work alone if necessary and “work from home if you can”. Those who cannot work from home are now “Animated” go to work while avoiding public transporttrying to enter bicycle or a walk and with guidelines for companies on security and distance.

Regarding the later stages of Roadmap to him Phase 2, the British Prime Minister said that they will be conditioned to the scientific verification the continuation of a decrease in infections coronavirus and return of infection rate to level 1 (now in the Kingdom it is between 0.5 and 0.9, he said). With a can “Gradual reopening of stores” and schools, from elementary school, not before June. And, not before July, a possible “reopening of some structures of the hotel industry, provided they are safe and guarantee social distancing.”

Downing Street tenant also announced plans to file one soon mandatory quarantine for all those who travel to the United Kingdom: quarantine, which according to progress will be 14 days and it will affect everyone Travellers, with or without symptoms, will serve to strengthen the security at the borders as the blockade on the internal front is alleviated. Johnson has not yet specified an effective date. The only certainty is that the measure will not affect French travelers to the United Kingdom and the British to France, as Johnson announced in a joint note with the French president. Emmanuel Macron in which it is specified that “any measure on both sides” of the Canal will be “taken in a coordinated and reciprocal manner”.

However, the news that triggered stronger political reactions refers to the option to put aside the slogan “Stay home” with “Stay alert.” A change that Johnson and his ministers downplay (“staying alert means staying home as long as possible,” a Downing Street spokesman explained); but that doesn’t convince either the labor opposition which speaks of “little clarity”, nor of the governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. From Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, the local leaders, strong in this matter of the powers of the return, have disclosed that in their respective territories, where the blockade had already been extended at least until May 28, the recommendation to stay home will continue. “The motto of staying alert is vague and imprecise,” interrupted the Scottish Prime Minister Nicola’s sturgeon, leader of the SNP independence activists.

To warn the central government of the dangers of a forward flight, there are, in addition, its scientific advisers, meeting in the Sage (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies), based on studies such as that of the London School of Tropical Hygiene and Imperial College, according to which another 100,000 people could die Covid-19 in the UK before the end of 2020 if the blockade eased too quickly. He knows it well Queen Elizabeth, 94, confined to nearly 99-year-old Filippo’s wife at Windsor Castle since March, intends to set a good example and not resume public engagements for months – in the fall, at the earliest. The longest period of absence of your 68 years of reign.
