If after the end of next week lockdown in England people will cease to
comply with restrictions, in the new year it may be necessary to
reintroduce-warned on Thursday (November 26) British prime minister
Boris Johnson.
"If we relax now, we risk losing control of the virus again, putting aside our hard-earned gains and forcing us to re-establish a nationwide lockdown in the new year with all the damage that would entail," Johnson said at a Downing Street press conference.
Earlier on Thursday, the government announced which areas of England will be at which level of restrictions when the nationwide lockdown ends on December 2 and there will be a return to the three-tier scale of regional restrictions. At the top, the third level, there are much more areas than before the lockdown, and almost all the others on the second, which also means a ban on meeting in closed rooms with people outside your own household.
Johnson about successes
Johnson argued that these difficult moves were the best way to avoid a lockdown scenario. He noted that the assignment to a given level of restrictions is not permanent and pointed to the cities of Liverpool and Warrington, which were previously at the third level, and now will be at the second. - These are the successes that we want other parts of the country to replicate. Your level is not your destiny, every area has a way out, " Johnson said.
In Liverpool, a significant reduction in infection rates has been made possible by a pilot scheme to test the entire population of the city for coronavirus, which the government would like to apply in other areas as well.
The level of restrictions in each area will be reviewed every two weeks, and the first will be carried out on 16 December, which means that each area still has a chance to relax restrictions before Christmas.
Plan for Christmas
During the press conference, Johnson also referred to the decision to loosen restrictions in the period from 23 to 27 December. Across the country, up to three households can create a "bubble" in which they can visit their homes, attend church services or spend time in open spaces, in addition, restrictions on movement will be lifted.
The prime minister suggested that the government decided to loosen restrictions during the holiday season, because people probably could ignore more stringent regulations. - It's an incredibly difficult decision. It is necessary to find a balance between the strong desire of people to spend Christmas with their family, one of the most important family holidays of the year-which frankly they would have done anyway-and the need to keep the virus under control-admitted the British prime minister.If after the end of next week lockdown in England people will cease to comply with restrictions, in the new year it may be necessary to reintroduce-warned on Thursday (November 26) British prime minister Boris Johnson.
