The House of Representatives of the United Kingdom pointed out that the government's response to the new coronavirus has increased the number of deaths without promptly imposing strict restrictions on going out in the early stages, saying, "The most serious public health experience the United Kingdom has experienced. It's one of those mistakes. "
The United Kingdom is one of the most severely affected countries in Europe, with approximately 138,000 people killed from the new coronavirus.
A bipartisan committee in the House of Representatives released a report on the 12th that examined the government's response so far, and last year, the government was infected due to concerns about adverse effects on the economy in the early stages of the rapid spread of infection. He pointed out that he did not promptly take measures such as strict restrictions on going out, only aiming at management rather than restraint.
The government introduced strict restrictions on going out in late March last year, but considering that the inspection system and border measures were not sufficient at that time, the restrictions on going out should have been implemented earlier.
He harshly criticized Britain as "one of the most serious public health failures experienced", citing increased deaths due to delays in government response.
On the other hand, regarding vaccination, we evaluate that R & D support and vaccination plans are being effectively implemented.
Regarding the government's initial response, Prime Minister Johnson also acknowledged that there was a problem, saying in July last year that "there may have been another way."
