Johnson: I take full responsibility for the 100,000 deaths in Corona

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that he bears full responsibility for what his government did after the country crossed the one hundred thousand deaths from the emerging corona virus, which constitutes the largest death toll in all of Europe.

"I deeply regret every soul lost, and certainly as prime minister, I take full responsibility for everything the government has done," Johnson said at a Downing Street press conference.

And Johnson expressed his regret for the loss of those lives, saying that "it is difficult to calculate the grief that this gloomy statistic carries."

The British Prime Minister offered his "deepest condolences" to those who lost their loved ones, including "fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters and many grandparents who passed away due to the pandemic."

Johnson said the virus infection rate remained "extremely high" despite lockdown restrictions that had been in place in England since January 5.

He indicated that he would reveal more details in the "next few days and weeks" about "when and how the country will be reopened again."

The daily toll from the British Ministry of Health showed that 1631 additional deaths were recorded, which raises the total number of the epidemic to 100,000 and 162 deaths.
