Corona waves are currently hitting the British Isles. People hardly seem to care about protective measures. Now the government is considering a new lockdown due to the sharp increase in the number of infections with around 4,000 new cases every day. The country’s chief medical officer, Professor Chris Whitty (54), will explain on national television Monday that the UK is going “in the wrong direction” and is at a “critical point in the pandemic.” The British are facing a “very challenging” winter, Whitty is quoted in advance by the British media.

To sweeten the quarantine of those affected, if necessary, certain families should receive up to 500 pounds sterling, the equivalent of 590 francs. Health Minister Matt Hancock (41) announced. Millions of low-income families are eligible if they need to be quarantined to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
