According to the Prime Minister, it is now unlikely that normal life in the country will be restored before spring. When he announced the new measure on Wednesday, he said that he regretted resorting to such a step, but allegedly had to do what was needed to save lives.

The “Rule of Six” is due to come into force in the UK from Monday. Due to its observance, the police will strengthen their ranks with the so-called “covid marshals”, whose task will be to guard the city centers in order to divide too large groups of people. Anyone who breaks the rule risks a fine or even an arrest, Johnson said in a video he shared on his Twitter account.

“It breaks my heart that I must insist on these restrictions on individuals and families,” Johnson said. The new rule for many families means that they will not be able to meet their grandparents for its duration. If it still applies in December, it could jeopardize Christmas family celebrations.

In England, from Monday, we are introducing the rule of 6. You must not meet socially in groups of more than 6 – and if you do, you will be breaking the law.

The measures currently in force in the UK have been the strictest since they were gradually phased out. The prime minister warned that this was to prevent a possible re-closure of the country if the coronavirus situation got out of control. “By reducing contact and improving enforcement, we can keep schools and businesses open knowing they are secure against covid-19.”

Johnson also has an alternative plan in place if the virus vaccine is not available soon enough. He said that its development before the end of this year is rather unlikely. According to him, a possible solution would be mass testing, but this could cost the country the same amount that goes to British education. This was reported by the British Medical Journal, which received leaked documents related to the proposal.
