I know how incredibly complicated those months have been and I fully perceive that our reports have not been the same, COVID has touched us all differently. I have two young people (11 and 7 years old) who missed school, their friends and their general routine.
This caused tears, anger and a strange loss of anger. Like some families, we found it difficult to go to school at home, entertain young people and manage their ups and downs. But I’m lucky, where I live, I have grass and access to the field. I recognize that many are not so fortunate and do not have access to open areas; For those living downtown with no outdoor area or limited outdoor area, the closure has been exceptionally complicated.
The UK government has launched a new strategy around blockades in reaction to any increase in infection rates.
Having an effect on people’s and businesses’ lives has already been so affected by the national closure that we will have to do everything we can to prevent this from falling into Birmingham and drag us into a state of closure throughout the city. .
I recognize that this will continue to be very difficult, especially for our children, young people and older adults who are already feeling the strain of being separated from their long circle of family and friends.
I bet we’ll have a wave for now, and the vaccines will be in time to prevent the wave for now.
And I’m not sure the new house tests are on time either, but that would possibly take the edge off.
But I suspect that until Christmas or early New Year, there may be more than one option for vaccines.
I suspect the vaccines will paint a little, not sterilize people, but they will alleviate the disease and are valuable to be used in a population.
But they don’t … solve this problem. And, by the way, the rest of the world will still have Covid in winter. “
We’ve noticed an increase in the number of new instances and a number of clusters across the country.
Unfortunately, we had to reimposed some restrictions in Aberdeen.
But we still have a small number of new ones in general. We have very low hospitalization degrees.
Given covid’s resurgence in some parts of Europe, and since we know that reopening more sectors of the economy would be tricky, the scenario in Scotland may, of course, be better, but it can also be much better. Worse. “
We intend to give the local government the strength to act on individual and express premises that violate the rules and are in a position to transmit the virus.
This force would allow the local government to close those premises, or impose situations in their opening, when they consider it obligatory to prevent, protect or spread the infection.
We have been involved on stage in the Balkans since early June, when we started to see an increase in the number of instances and it is actually a subregional hot spot the summer period. »
We want communities to take this into account, to take appropriate action at the national level, in terms of finding fundamental contact, identity and isolation of cases, and to test the systems they want to be in place.
And where there are hot spots and increased transmission, specific additional measures should be implemented, very quickly, to quell the transmission in the egg, prevent it from spreading and maintaining the transmission point at controllable points.
The other young people are at the forefront of Covid-19’s reaction and have a very difficult message to convey through their behavior and communication.
A low threat means no threat, no one is invincible, and if you die of Covid, it can stick to your frame like a tornado with a long tail.
While other young people are less likely to die than the elderly, they can still be severely affected, however, this virus affects the body’s organs.
It is very specific, proportionate and it is justified to continue with what we are doing, to see if we can then create an additional minimum in the coming days.
So today there is no case to impose additional restrictions on Oldham beyond the ban on social gatherings at home.
It is almost a frustration that the plans that we need to implement, in order to reach the infection rate the way we need, do not work at full capacity with them because much of our time has been spent having disputes with the government and others about how we oppose the local blockade and believe that is not the right thing to do. “
The amount of positive tests for the coronavirus in Greater Manchester is being reduced as a total, while Oldham is on the verge of a total blockade.

Professor Sir John Bell, Professor of Regius Medicine at Oxford University, said he has the idea of a “really bumpy” winter on the way, especially with the additional threat of the flu.
Experts also the importance of easily accessible and non-invasive tests, especially for schools and universities.
Speaking at a webinar at the Royal Society of Medicine, Professor Bell said:
I bet we’ll have a wave for now, and the vaccines will be in time to prevent the wave for now.
And I’m not sure the new house tests are on time either, but that would possibly take the edge off.
But I suspect that until Christmas or early New Year, there may be more than one option for vaccines.

Less than two-thirds (60.5%) of others who were controlled by Covid-19 in the week ending August 12 in a regional or cellular control unit, a so-called “in-person” control, got their result within 24 hours. .
This is below 70.3% a week and 92.7% in the week until July 1.

Nearly six hundred other people in Scotland would have probably caught a coronavirus at work, according to figures.
Data from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) showed that between 10 April and 8 August, a total of 594 Reports of Covid-19 Disease were made, totaling 8 deaths, through employers at HSE and councils.
Employers have a legal responsibility to report cases where there is moderate evidence that a worker has become infected with the virus after being exposed to it at work.
Figures show that nearly two-thirds (373) of cases were in the residential care sector, while 32 were in “fitness activities,” 146 in other “personal services” activities and the rest in other industries.
The HSE stated that it had investigated five reported deaths in Scotland and concluded that in 4 cases there was insufficient evidence to verify that they were the result of occupational exposure to coronavirus.
He said the fifth case is still under investigation.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Balkans a ‘hot spot’ for coronavirus.
This comes amid growing fears that Croatia could be added to the Uk government’s quarantine list.
There has been a significant build-up of cases in the country in recent days, with a record number of new cases on Wednesday, with another 219 people testing positive.
The cumulative number of instances over 14 days is 37.7 per 100,000, compared to 21 in the UK.
Ministers will meet later on Thursday to discuss the possibility of replacing Britain’s list of safe brokers.
Test and Trace figures also show that, for cases treated through local fitness coverage teams, 97.7% of the close contacts of others who tested positive for Covid-19 were contacted and asked to isolate themselves.
In contrast, for cases treated or through call centres, 56.9% of nearby contacts were contacted and asked to isolate themselves.
These figures represent the entire 11-week testing and follow-up period.
Since the launch of Test and Trace, 227,577 close contacts of others who tested positive for Covid-19 have been contacted with the tracking formula and have asked for self-isolation.
This is 81 consistent with a penny out of a total of 281,118 other people known as close contacts.
The remaining 53,541 people (19%) known as close contacts, but were not contacted.
Weekly figures show that 71.3% of close contacts were reached in the week ending August 12, up from 74.2% last week and 91.11% in the first week of Test and Trace (week ending June 3).
New figures published through the government show that a total of another 57,457 people who tested positive for Covid-19 in England transferred their instances to the NHS’s Test and Trace touch search system.

Nicola Sturgeon said there had been “mixed news” in the coronavirus match for more than three weeks.
She, the Scottish government:
We’ve noticed an increase in the number of new instances and clusters across the country.
Unfortunately, we had to reimposed some restrictions in Aberdeen.
But we still have a small number of new ones in general. We have very low hospitalization rates.
Given covid’s resurgence in some parts of Europe, and since we know that reopening more sectors of the economy would be tricky, the scenario in Scotland may, of course, be better, but it can also be much better. Worse. “
The government suggested to tourists to “be vigilant” to adjustments to the quarantine list, amid the developing hypothesis that Croatia could be included after a build-up of coronavirus cases.
The Department of Transport (DfT) said this week an announcement could be made regarding adjustments to the UK’s safe broker list, and that others returning from non-inclusive countries have to isolate themselves for 14 days.
A significant increase in Covid-19 infections in Croatia in recent days means you can stay in France if you remove it from the travel list.
The number of population-consistent cases of 100,000 in Croatia would have exceeded 20, which is a key reference.
A DfT spokesman declined to comment on Croatia, but told the AP news firm that the ers deserve to be aware that the insurance list could be replaced this week.
Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon also announced that the local government wants new powers to close businesses in her region that comply with Covid-19 regulations.
He noted that “not all host corporations have implemented it effectively.”
The Scottish government has recently had emergency powers to act, for example, through all pubs in a specific zip code.
Sturgeon said:
We intend to give the local government the strength to act on individual and express premises that violate the rules and transmission of the virus.
This force would allow the local government to close those premises, or impose situations in their opening, when they consider it obligatory to prevent, protect or spread the infection.
Scotland has reported the highest number of coronavirus cases in almost 3 months, Nicola Sturgeon said, reporting 77 new infections in 24 hours.

It also announced that the reopening of indoor gyms, swimming pools and sports courts is underway.
Nicola Sturgeon said: “Three weeks ago I indicated that they could reopen from September 14, but I also said that we would see if this date could be safe and complex, that is, given the broader physical and intellectual fitness benefits of access to those facilities.
“Having done this, I am now in a position to verify that these services will reopen, provided that the rules are in force, as of August 31.”
Nicola Sturgeon said the recent maximum estimate that the R number in Scotland, the number of other people inflamed on average through each user with the disease, “could be higher than one lately.”
In Aberdeen there are local blockade restrictions, and with the government grappling with a ‘significant Angus coupar group’ connected to the Two Sisters food plant, the prime minister said ministers were “carefully and urgently if additional restrictions are needed.”
Despite considerations of coronavirus groups, he said reopening scheduled for August 24 could continue.
As a result, he stated that some live occasions, with physical distance, improved hygiene and a limited number at the post, may take place from that date.
The limit was lifted on the number of positions in medical, dentistry, veterinary and training courses after the U.S. change of grades A.
Universities will gain more investment to build capacity in a series of courses after establishments have warned that they have a limited area for academics who have noticed that their effects are accumulating.
The resolution comes after vice-chancellors and doctors called for the limit on the number of academics in medical schools to be removed amid the classification chaos.
Monday’s U-turn, which meant that the A-level effects would be on the estimated grades of teachers, came too late for many academics who had already made possible choices about universities in the initial grades.
Major universities have warned that academics with higher grades may be asked to postpone their position if there is no more area in their preferred course.

Video footage shared on social media showed dozens of other covert people on the street waving flags and throwing flares.
Some other people were photographed dancing in cars and vans.
The Balkan region is a “hot spot” for coronavirus, the World Health Organization (WHO) said amid the growing hypothesis that Croatia could be added to the UK government’s quarantine list.
Dr Catherine Smallwood at a WHO press conference:

Leeds and Bristol councils are reviewing plans to introduce blank air spaces as air quality advanced after the coronavirus pandemic.
The programmes followed a precept to that of the London Low Emissions Zone, which imposes access rates on the highest pollution cars.
At Leeds, owners of trucks, coaches, taxis and rental cars who pollute as much as possible would be charged for entering, with exempt cars and motorcycles.
However, the city suspended plans to introduce its blank air zone in September because air quality innovations caused by the smaller number of cars on the roads, the pandemic can result in government funds being withdrawn.

Younger youth do not feel “invincible” as restrictions on coronaviruses are lifted, a World Health Organization (WHO) official said.
Dr Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, said at a press conference that he was “very concerned” that under-24s would be among the new cases.
He said:
The other young people are at the forefront of Covid-19’s reaction and have a very difficult message to convey through their behavior and communication.
A low threat means no threat, no one is invincible, and if you die of Covid, it can stick to your frame like a tornado with a long tail.
While other young people are less likely to die than the elderly, they can still be severely affected, however, this virus affects the body’s organs.
