The British Parliament voted to pass the second national blockade restrictions to be implemented early on the 5th

　　On the 4th local time, the lower house of the British parliament voted on the second national blockade and restrictive measures proposed by the government on October 31, and finally passed the bill with 516 votes in favor and 38 votes against it.

　　Prime Minister Johnson subsequently stated in Parliament that the second round of nationwide blockade restrictions are "necessary" at this stage, and only in this way can the current spread of the new crown virus in the UK be curbed.

He emphasized that although escalation of restrictive measures will cause certain difficulties to people's lives and business operations, such measures are currently the best and safest choice for the country.

　　It is understood that although the bill for the second blockade was finally passed with a large margin, the chairman of the "Conservative Party Committee of Ordinary Members of Congress" Sir Graham Brady and the former leader of the Conservative Party Sir Ian Smith both voted against it. Former Prime Minister Theresa May abstained from voting.

　　The vote means that from the early morning of the 5th, the United Kingdom will enter the second nationwide blockade restriction stage.

At that time, the entire territory of England will be blocked, including the closure of bars, restaurants, stadiums, non-essential shops, etc. Except for the necessary reasons for school, work, medical treatment, and supermarket shopping, all people must stay at home and do not go out. The blockade will continue. Four weeks to December 2.

　　Regarding the date of lifting the second blockade, Professor Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer of the United Kingdom, said that the lifting of the blockade on December 2 is "a realistic possibility."

However, at this stage, the cabinet ministers refused to promise an end date for the blockade, in case a satisfactory effect of controlling the spread of the virus cannot be achieved by then.
