Coronavirus in Europe. More and more people with COVID-19 in several countries

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned his fellow Americans Wednesday that the country was at a critical juncture and that the only way to avoid a new nationwide blockade was to follow the latest government guidelines. There is also a bad epidemic situation in Spain – due to the increase in the number of infections, Ibiza has introduced restrictions. An increase in the number of people requiring specialist medical assistance is recorded in France and Italy.

At the Downing Street press conference – the hundredth time to tackle the epidemic – Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for adherence to the rules but stressed that he would not hesitate to take further steps if necessary to stop the epidemic. From September 14, it is forbidden to meet in groups of more than six people, and last week the opening hours of pubs, bars and restaurants were reduced.

– Currently, we are not returning to the situation in which we were in March. And I really don’t want to do this, I don’t want to go back to the national blockade when the main guideline was to stay home. We want to keep the economy moving. We want to keep young people, students in schools. But the only way to do this is by following the guidelines and suppressing the virus, Johnson said.

He explained that the prospect of new national restrictions “totally depends on how successfully we now fight the virus together”. “We know we can do it because we did it earlier in March and April,” he added. The epidemic may now spread in a different way than in March, he said, as there are some very clear local peaks and therefore it is possible that it will be necessary to focus more on local efforts to combat it.

Chris Whitty, England’s chief physician, and Patrick Vallance’s chief scientific adviser, who accompanied Johnson to the conference, pointed out that the situation was going in the wrong direction, as evidenced by the growing number of patients in intensive care units in the North East and North West of England and in London.

7,108 new coronavirus infections were reported on Wednesday, marking the second consecutive day when the number exceeds 7,000. These are the highest levels since the epidemic began. Another 71 people died, the same number as in the previous day and these are the highest balance sheets since July 1.
