British Prime Minister Boris Johnson opened up to even tougher corona restrictions today as infection rates remain so high.
Among other things, more schools may open later than planned after the Christmas holidays.
In an interview with the BBC earlier today, Boris Johnson said that even stricter measures to reduce the spread of the infection in the country may be relevant in the near future.
The spread of infection in the country. It has increased dramatically again recently and in the last week, an average of around 50,000 new positive covid cases have been recorded per day across the country. Today there were almost 55,000 new cases, yesterday almost 58,000 cases and what is worse, is a strong increase compared to the previous week.
The death toll is still high, the daily average for the past week just under 600, certainly lower than when it was at its worst this spring. But since deaths in covid occur a few weeks after someone becomes ill, it is feared that even more people will die in covid-19. The worrying signs about fewer and fewer vacancies are also coming from various parts of the country.
Already prevails The highest level of restrictions in most areas of England, unnecessary shops and restaurants, pubs and cafes, for example, have been closed for a few days before Christmas.
Opposition leader, Labor Keir Starmer Today demanded a national closure like the spring and more tomorrow. A debate has also emerged over whether the start of school after the Christmas break should be postponed a few weeks for even more students.
There are equally more difficult situations in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, and the Scottish Parliament has convened tomorrow because further tougher measures are also seen as necessary.
