The British Government has imposed a local quarantine in the city of Leicester by registering almost 900 new cases of coronavirus in 15 days and reaching an infection rate of 135 per 100,000 inhabitants, three times higher than the average in the area. Health Secretary Matt Hancock has confirmed the government's decision in Parliament, despite resistance to local authorities, who were eagerly awaiting the July 4 'super Saturday' for the reopening of pubs, restaurants, hotels and hair salons.

The 300,000 residents of Leicester will in fact be the first in the UK to experience a "reverse" of confinement measures. Elementary schools , which had opened in early June, will close their doors on Thursday , and "nonessential" stores will have to close again.

"10% of all coronavirus cases in the country in the past week have been detected in Leicester," Hancock reported in Parliament, warning that only essential travel will be allowed to enter or leave the city . The Health Secretary asked residents with symptoms to be tested and isolated for 14 days if they test positive. The situation will be reviewed in two weeks.

Throughout the day, the government struggled with Leicester Mayor Peter Soulsby , who opposed the idea, alleging economic damage to the city. In his speech last week, announced "the end of national hibernation," 'Premier' Boris Johnson warned that the government could enact local quarantines in the event of possible outbreaks.

To date, all of England had progressed at the same time in the de-escalation, ahead of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland . Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon questioned from the start the speed of the de-escalation, delayed the return to school until August and has assured this week that she does not rule out imposing quarantines on visitors to England , where the level of infection is higher.

With 43,575 officially recognized deaths so far, the United Kingdom is the European country with the highest number of deaths from coronavirus.
