As the infection of the new coronavirus mutated in the United Kingdom spreads and the number of infected people per day continues to exceed 50,000, Prime Minister Johnson announced on the 4th that measures such as strict restrictions on going out will be introduced throughout England. I made it clear.
In the United Kingdom, the spread of mutated viruses, which are said to be highly infectious, has spread, and the number of infected people per day on the 4th was 58,784, the highest number ever.
In England, nearly 27,000 people have been hospitalized, which was higher than the peak last spring, and the number of beds has increased by 1.4 times in the last 10 days.
Prime Minister Johnson gave a television speech on the night of the 4th, revealing that he would introduce measures such as severe restrictions on going out throughout England.
Specifically, it is said that going out is strictly restricted except for grocery shopping and exercise once a day, and in principle, business is prohibited except for stores that handle daily necessities.
In addition, elementary and junior high schools and universities will be closed, and classes will be shifted to online classes until the middle of next month.
"We need more action to control the mutated virus. I know we feel a lot more antivirus in the government, but it's time to unite more than ever," said Johnson. I asked for understanding.
In the UK, Scotland will be subject to strict regulations across the country, including announcing that similar measures will begin on the 5th.
