London – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hit UK citizens with sobering figures Tuesday night and then tightened restrictions on coronaviruses to the worst-case scenarios.
“A month ago, on average, about 1,000 people across the UK tested positive for coronavirus every day,” Johnson said. “The last figure has almost quadrupled to 3,929. “
Officials were even more involved because, as France and Spain saw with their “second wave,” the accumulation of new infections has now begun to translate into more hospitalizations in the UK, and even a slight increase in the number of deaths recorded. Every day.
If nothing is done to stop the spread of the virus, Johnson warned that the existing trajectory could mean many deaths per day next month.
Then, after encouraging others to return to the paintings in July, CBS News correspondent Holly Williams said that on Tuesday, the prime minister told the British to start running from their homes if they could. national leaders in the spring had never been lifted.
As the disease spreads rapidly in the north of England, Johnson said that “this is the time when we must act. “
Starting this week, the mask will also be mandatory across England for retail and taxis, with fines of up to $250 for offenders.
Companies that comply can be fined over $12,000 or even closed.
Pubs and restaurants will be forced to close at 10 p. m. across the UK, and stadiums will be closed to the public.
For now, the whole of Britain will remain open.
Johnson warned that restored measures can last only six months, or at least until the rate of spread of the disease is controlled.
The key metric used through your government is the so-called “R” number, which measures how many single users infected with the virus are meant to transmit it. If the number R is greater than 1, then a COVID-19 carrier should statistically infect more than one user, reflecting a developing epidemic.
UK fitness officials estimated the R-number to be around 1. 2-1. 4 on Tuesday, and until it drops to 1 or less, the measures are unlikely to be easy, and may just increase. Johnson’s management has decided to enforce a national lockdown time.
“The time has come for all of us to call for discipline, determination, and a spirit of solidarity that corresponds to us,” Johnson said.
