New COVID restrictions in England only as “last resort”
Reimposing restrictions for the coronavirus in England would be a “Absolute last resort and the British hope that we will do everything we can to avoid it.” In addition, it indicates that one should “try to live with covid”, wrote the British Health Minister, Sajid Javid, in an article in the newspaper ‘Daily Mail’.
The United Kingdom is one of the European countries hardest hit by the pandemic, with almost 149,000 deaths. On saturday he recorded 163,000 new cases, a slight drop after several days of unprecedented infections.
The British government, responsible for health policies only in England, has refused to restrict socialization and large events. While Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have adopted limits on congregations, at a time when the omicron variant triggers infections in the country. (Afp)
