  • Covid-19 Boris Johnson plans to isolate visitors to the United Kingdom in hotels for a price of 1,200 euros that travelers will have to assume

Boris Johnson

has promised to "reflect and repair" his strategy against Covid

, minutes after his Government confirmed that the tragic bar of 100,000 deaths from the pandemic has been exceeded.

"It is very hard to measure the pain contained in this sad statistic," said Johnson, who promised to "learn the lessons" of recent months and

appealed to the unity of the British to overcome the crisis.

"

We are facing a national tragedy

," declared the leader of the Labor opposition Keir Starmer, who avoided taking political advantage of the chilling figure:

100,162 lives lost

to date.

"For now we must remember our loved ones and remain vigilant, stay home, protect public health and continue vaccinations."

On previous occasions, Starmer accused the government of having been "slow" in making decisions and

of having sowed confusion among the population

at critical moments of the pandemic.

The same questions fell on Johnson during the laconic press conference, in which he was reminded of the government's premature hopes

of keeping the death toll below 20,000.

"I take

full responsibility for everything the government has done

," Johnson said.

"I can say that we have done everything we can to minimize the number of victims and the suffering of people in a very difficult crisis for this country. And that is what we will continue to do, like all governments around the world affected by this. crisis".

The United Kingdom is

once again in

the lead in Europe in the number of deaths

, with more than 3.6 million cases of Coronavirus.

The situation skyrocketed since mid-December and experts

blamed it for the highly contagious "British strain"

, discovered in Kent and spread throughout the country.

The premier ordered the third national lockdown in early January, including the closure of schools.

With 6.8 million vaccinated,

the British Isles are nevertheless far ahead of the rest of Europe

.

"We have put in an immense national effort, never seen before in our history," Johnson said.

"They can finally free us from the virus and put us on the road to recovery."

The tragic figure is also produced in the middle of the debate of a drastic measure, unheard of in Europe until now:

the British Government plans to

isolate visitors from countries considered "high risk" for ten days in hotels

.

The measure could even extend to everyone entering airports, including British residents and tourists back in the country.

The stay in the hotels (1,200 to 1,700 euros) should also be covered by the visitors themselves.

The hotels could be ready for operation in less than three weeks,

pending final instructions from the government.
