According to reports, the British National Bureau of Statistics estimates that 1 in 100 people in the UK are now infected with the new crown virus.
Due to the severe rebound of the epidemic, on October 31, Johnson stated that from November 5th, all bars, restaurants and non-essential shops in England will be closed. People must stay at home except for work, education and exercise.
The ban will continue until December 2.
During this period, the school will remain open.
These measures will currently only apply to England, and the regional governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will formulate their own anti-epidemic policies.

According to reports, the United Kingdom has the largest number of deaths due to new crowns in Europe. Currently, there are more than 20,000 new cases of new crowns in the UK in a single day.
British scientists warned that in the "worst case", the number of deaths from the new crown in the UK may exceed 80,000.
"We must act now," Johnson said. "Unless we take action, our country will have thousands of deaths every day."
Johnson also said that the British government will resume its emergency wage subsidy program for the new crown virus to ensure that workers temporarily dismissed during the lockdown in England receive 80% of their original wages.
The new blockade will last until December 2, and Johnson hopes that the virus will be fully controlled by then.
Johnson has previously stated that he hopes to "avoid the pain of being shut down again."
For several weeks, he has been under pressure. Top British scientists have warned that the United Kingdom needs a lockdown, not the current partial shutdown.
