China News Service, May 12 (Xinhua News Agency) WeChat public account "Huawenpai" reported that on May 10th local time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson released the "three-step" plan to unblock Britain And updated the epidemic prevention slogan.

　　At two o'clock in the afternoon on May 11th, local time, the British government issued a 60-page full text of the unsealing rules, which listed in more detail the contents of the three phases of the closure. The local Chinese media summarized the main points as follows:

The first stage: from May 13th

　　The first phase began on May 13th, and the UK's unblocking is mainly reflected in the following aspects.

　　jobs:

　　In the foreseeable future, employees should continue to work from home whenever possible.

　　If the workplace is open, all employees who cannot work at home should go to work, and industries that allow openness should also resume work.

　　So in which fields can employees return to work? In his speech on the 10th, Johnson only mentioned the construction industry and manufacturing industry. On the 11th, some examples were given in government documents, which clearly listed these items: food production, construction, manufacturing, logistics, distribution, and scientific research laboratories.

　　Departments like hotels and non-essential retailers must remain closed during this first phase. Employees returning to work at these workplaces should work in accordance with the COVID-19 safety guidelines to be released this week.

　　Anyone with symptoms of new crowns or family members with symptoms, no matter how mild the symptoms, should not go to work and should isolate themselves at home.

　　school:

　　According to the current regulations, children of key position staff can go to school.

　　The new change at this stage is that those engaged in nanny and child care can return to work under the premise of meeting public health principles, which can bring more working parents back to work.

　　Travel:

　　Everyone (including staff in key positions) should try to avoid using public transportation and choose to ride, walk or drive to work.

　　If you take public transportation, you must strictly follow the social distance guidelines for public transportation. Regarding how to maintain social distance in the workplace and public transportation, this week there will also be COVID-19 safety guidelines to regulate.

　　Face covering:

　　The British government also recommended that people use facial masks for the first time.

　　The rules pointed out that since it is impossible for people to maintain social isolation from people at all times, especially in confined spaces, such as in public transportation or in some stores, the use of homemade facial masks can help reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

　　However, the rules also emphasize that homemade facial masks are different from masks (such as surgical masks or respiratory masks), which are personal protective equipment used to protect the health of health workers and other workers. The supply of these items must continue to be reserved for those in need.

　　In addition, the rules recommend that children under two years of age should not use facial masks.

　　Outdoor sports:

　　People can exercise outdoors many times a day, including fishing and playing tennis. But still can not use the playground, outdoor gym or other outdoor leisure places that need to buy tickets. And you can only exercise with one member of the family at most, which means that people cannot participate in group sports unless you are doing group sports with your own family.

　　In addition to sports, people can now engage in outdoor activities, but they must meet the following conditions: they will not meet more than one person from your family; continue to maintain 2 meters of social isolation with people other than your family members; maintain good Hand hygiene practices; follow the newly issued COVID-19 safety guidelines.

　　long trip:

　　People can drive to open spaces outdoors, no matter how far away they are, as long as they follow the social isolation guidelines. However, when traveling long distances, you cannot cross any two areas between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

　　International travel:

　　First, the government will require all international travelers entering the UK to provide contact and accommodation information, and strongly recommend that they download and use the NHS ’new crown tracking application.

　　Secondly, except for French and Irish travellers, the government requires all other international travellers to isolate themselves in their residence for 14 days after arriving in the UK. If international passengers cannot prove where they will isolate themselves, the government will arrange their accommodation. The government is coordinating the implementation of this work across the UK.

　　This measure will not take effect on May 13, but will be implemented as soon as possible. And detailed guidelines will be issued soon, and the list of exempt countries will be reviewed regularly.

Second stage: implemented as early as June 1

　　The specific content and timing of the second phase of implementation will depend on the development of the latest epidemic in the UK, but the UK government ’s detailed rules on unsealing show that it will be announced at least 48 hours before the policy is implemented. If the previous unblocking conditions are met, the second phase of the unblocking policy will be implemented as early as June 1.

　　school:

　　Students return to school in stages. From June 1, the government hopes that more schools will be open to preschool, first- and sixth-graders.

　　In order to allow middle school students to spend as much time with their teachers as possible, middle schools and further education colleges can also prepare to start some face-to-face exchanges with grade 10 and grade 12 students.

　　The government ’s goal is for all primary school students to return to school for a month before the summer vacation.

　　Non-essential stores reopen:

　　Starting in June 1st, these non-essential stores will comply with the new COVID-19 safety guidelines. The government will soon issue further guidance, including which stages and which stores can open doors. But the hotel industry and personal care industry are not yet operational at this stage.

　　Sports events:

　　Allow closed-door broadcasting of cultural and sports events, while avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact.

　　traffic:

　　Reopen more local public transportation and adopt strict social isolation measures.

　　In addition, the government is also studying how to allow people to gather in a slightly larger space, such as holding a small wedding.

　　In the next few weeks, the government will discuss how to implement these measures.

The third stage: as early as July 4th

　　The current planning assumption of the British government is that the third phase will be implemented as early as July 4. The goal of this stage is to open at least some other places, such as personal care (such as hairdressing and beauty), catering hotels (such as catering service supply, bars and accommodation), public places (such as religious places) and leisure facilities (such as cinemas ). Similarly, these places must also meet the COVID-19 safety guidelines.

　　As for sports venues, they may only be partially open.

　　Generally speaking, in the third stage, the government hopes to reopen some businesses and fields as much as scientific data permits. The government will carefully open gradually and pilot open some places to test the adaptability of these places.

　　The government will also establish a series of working groups to work closely with relevant agencies in these fields to ensure the safety of these sites. (Peng Lin)
