British Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed that his government may soon be forced to impose stricter isolation measures to limit the spread of the new Corona virus in the country.
Johnson said in an interview with the “BBC” on Sunday that his government will review in the coming weeks the measures imposed on large areas of England, including the capital London, in the context of the spread of Corona at record rates unprecedented in recent times in light of the appearance of a new strain of the virus. .
Johnson warned that the situation is dangerous and that the restrictions imposed may become tougher, hinting at the same time that the situation could return to normal in early spring.
“Maybe we need to take more drastic measures in the coming weeks, and I totally agree with that, and I think the whole country will agree with that as well,” he said.
At the same time, the Prime Minister expressed his belief in the safety of schools, noting that the epidemic risk faced by students is at the lowest level.
Johnson defended his government’s handling of the coronavirus, noting that the UK’s vaccination campaign against the epidemic is doing “better than the rest of Europe in general.”
So far, the UK has recorded nearly two million and 600,000 corona cases, including 74,570 deaths.
