Britain will try to curb the coronavirus by strict measures

Britain has the highest number of deaths with European covid-19. According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, 46,319 people died there with covid-19, and almost 993,000 people have become infected since the epidemic began.

According to the British media, the planned closures will include limiting the operation of stores to those that sell the necessary goods. The operation will be maintained in schools, nurseries and universities, wrote The Times, according to which the details are still being discussed. The closure is valid from Wednesday to December 1. According to the media, Johnson gave in to advisers in an effort to “save Christmas”.

Johnson’s office has not yet confirmed this information. The government declares restrictions in England according to the area affected and has them divided into three stages. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland decide on anti-epidemic measures separately.

Calum Semple, a member of the government’s scientific advisory team, said on Saturday that the virus was spreading uncontrollably among people of all ages.

“To deniers who do not believe in the second wave, I say that the second wave (infections) is already there. And unlike the first one, when we had a closure to protect part of society, this wave is now spreading across all age groups, ”he said.

Reuters writes that the new restrictions will mean an increase in already strong support for the British economy for Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and the central bank. It has fallen by a record 20 percent in the spring and is now trying to recover from it.

The highest, third degree of restrictions, means banning people from different households from meeting, closing pubs and bars, banning wedding receptions and avoiding traveling from their place of residence. According to The Times, even stricter regional measures are being considered, but ministers have so far preferred a nationwide approach.
