Crowded English beaches: government warns British

Overwhelmed by the influx of visitors to the beaches, the town council of the seaside resort of Bournemouth (South) declared a “major incident” triggering a coordinated intervention by the police and rescue services. Health Minister Matt Hancock recalled on TalkRadio on Thursday that the government could close public spaces like beaches if the rules were violated and that it would “take action” if the number of infections were to increase.

“The Covid-19 has gone down thanks to everyone’s efforts, but it continues to circulate in general. If we do not follow the physical distancing guidelines, then the number of cases will increase again, “warned the head of England’s health services, Chris Whitty, on Twitter.

“These illegal raves are unacceptable”

Thousands of Liverpool supporters have also defied health recommendations to celebrate the club’s first English championship title in 30 years outside the Anfield Road stadium on Thursday evening. Police also had to intervene to disperse several parties on the streets of London and at least 22 police officers were injured Wednesday evening after being thrown from bottles in Brixton, in the south of the capital. “These illegal raves are obviously unacceptable, and attacks on the police are also unacceptable,” said Minister George Eustice.

Health authorities are currently recommending keeping two meters between each person to prevent the spread of the virus that has killed more than 43,000 people in the UK, the heaviest death toll in Europe.

This distance will be reduced to one meter to allow the reopening of pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and cinemas on July 4, but on condition that measures to reduce the risk, such as special protective equipment, are put in place.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to announce quarantine exemptions for travelers returning from several Mediterranean tourist destinations in Europe, including France, according to The Telegraph daily.
