On the evening of March 23, local time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that in order to respond to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Britain began to implement stricter control measures.
Beginning that night, all people must stay at home, except for purchasing necessities, going out for exercise, seeking medical care or commuting to core workers. Gathering of more than two people from the same family will be prohibited. Libraries, open-air gyms, prayer places, etc. will also be closed, and people cannot hold commemorative or religious ceremonies except for funerals.
After the new rules are implemented, police will have the power to disperse crowds or impose fines.
Johnson said the new rules will be implemented for three weeks, and if the epidemic is brought under control, it will be deregulated.
