London – British officials said Monday that COVID-19 infection rates are “going in the right direction. “Caution came when governments across Europe are implementing more difficult measures to stem new coronavirus outbreaks.
British government’s leading medical officer, Chris Whitty, said Monday that infection rates in Britain had “literally doubled in direction. “
Chief Scientific Advisor Patrick Vallance warned that if nothing is done to prevent the spread of the virus, new infections can be successful at approximately 50,000 per day until mid-October, compared to approximately 4,400 new instances of COVID-19 on Monday.
But this is the worst case, and the government has already imposed stricter restrictions on the giant and coveted spaces of the north of England. People in many communities can no longer socialize with other households, and across England maximum meetings are now limited to six people.
The British Secretary of Health has ruled a moment of national blockade.
The virus has killed more people in the UK than in any other country in Europe. But as in the first wave, France is ahead of Britain in the face of the resurgence of the virus.
The head of a French medical workers’ union warned that hospitals are at a “turning point. “He said that while the current rate of new infections is as high as the country’s first wave in March, some hospitals have noticed a sharp increase in coronavirus admissions.
Face masks became mandatory in closed public spaces in France a few weeks ago, as the government attempts to order a new national closure.
Spain is also dealing with a wave of moments: in some spaces in Madrid, new restrictions took effect on Monday: approximately 860,000 people will no longer be able to leave their neighborhoods for professional, educational or medical reasons.
Israel has become the first country in the world to impose a momentary national blockade last Friday. Its first crash eased in May, with new daily instances dropping to one figure, yet the infection rate has skyrocketed over the following month.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to face british audiences in a televised showdown from his London home on Tuesday. If there are new restrictions to come, we may hear them.
