£ 200 fine for anyone not wearing a mouth guard

Limited opening hours for restaurants and pubs, more stringent oral protection requirements, and a maximum of 15 people at weddings.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson released new restrictions on Tuesday.
“Like Spain and France, we are now at an inflection point,” said Boris Johnson.
On Monday, Britain’s top public health advisers painted a disturbing scenario for the crown’s plight in the country.
If the spread of the infection continues as it is now, there will be 50,000 new cases per day in October. The country has raised its alert level from 3 to 4.
No total blocking
In a speech to parliament Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Boris Johnson presented a plan to slow the spread of the virus.
– We introduce new restrictions, but with minimal damage to life and livelihoods. It is not a return to a total lockdown, as in March, it began.
The new restrictions include:
-
All pubs and restaurants must close by 10pm and only table service is allowed. Violating the rules leads to closure.
-
Requirements for mouth guards are expanded. From now on, mouth guards must be used in shops, taxis and restaurants. This applies to visitors and staff.
-
A maximum of 15 people can attend the wedding ceremonies.
-
Plans to re-allow audiences at sporting events will be suspended for the time being.
Warns off
The new restrictions also come with stiffer penalties in case you break them. Failure to wear a mouth guard where necessary can result in a £ 200 fine and Boris Johnson promised police more resources to ensure compliance with the new rules. In the worst case, the military could also be deployed, Johnson said overnight.
In an address to the nation, Boris Johnson warned of even more severe restrictions if they are not followed. A shutdown is undesirable, but it remains a risk if not everyone takes responsibility, the message said.
– Your cough could mean the death of another person.
On the other hand, a probably happy message was given to schoolchildren and students in the country.
– Schools, universities must remain open, said Boris Johnson.
Brits with jobs that require them to be on site, such as medical personnel or construction workers, will still be able to go to work.
– But we ask everyone who can work from home to stay home.
In addition to these restrictions, there are local restrictions in various parts of the UK. In Scotland, as of Wednesday, residents are prohibited from visiting homes of which they themselves are not part.
