Collections of more than two people are banned in the UK

The United Kingdom has been hit hard by the corona virus in recent days. 54 people are reported to have died just the past 24 hours, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University. A total of 335 have died as a result of the virus in the country.

Now Prime Minister Boris Johnson is taking drastic measures to stop the virus.

- From tonight, I am forced to issue a simple instruction to the British people - you have to stay home. If you do not follow these rules, police will have the power to intervene, he said in a televised speech on Monday night.

All stores that sell unnecessary goods, such as clothing and electronics, are forced to close. Weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies will also be temporarily banned. However, burials will still be allowed.

At the same time, crowds of three or more people are prohibited. Thus, people can only socialize two and two if they do not move around people in the same household.

The UK has already closed bars, restaurants and urged people to stay home. But not everyone has followed those advice. During Monday night, the prime minister was clearer. Everyone is encouraged to stay at home - unless they need to do absolutely necessary matters.

As necessary matters he listed to visit the grocery store, the doctor or to come out and move once a day.
