Pandemic The British can suffer two million cases a day
Anti-vaccines Demonstration against doses shouting "down with tyranny"
The British Government is studying the possibility of mobilizing Covid vaccination teams "door to door" as an alternative to the implementation of new restrictions against the spread of
the omicron variant, responsible for the increase in daily cases to the record of 122,196
registered during the end of week.
As revealed by
The Mail on Sunday,
Boris Johnson is considering extending the
"door-to-door" pilot program
launched in Ipswich, Suffolk County, to other areas with a lower percentage of vaccination than the average registered in England.
For a month, special teams from the National Health Service (NHS) have toured areas such as the Westgate in Ipswich, with one of the lowest vaccination levels in the country, trying to convince reluctant neighbors and offering free transportation to health centers. vaccination.
In other areas, such as Norfolk,
teams of "community vaccinators"
have even been deployed
knocking door-to-door for the same purpose
.
Boris Johnson is scheduled to announce the next measures against Covid on Monday in the face of the end of the year celebrations, in the face of increasing pressure from the hard wing of the Conservative Party not to impose new restrictions. Almost a hundred
Tory
deputies
rebelled a week ago against the introduction of the 'Covid passport' to enter nightclubs and stadiums.
The introduction of new restrictions would require the convocation of Parliament in the
middle
of the Christmas holidays and would expose the
premier
to an even greater opposition in his own ranks, in the middle of a political crisis over the Partygate scandal (the Covid parties held in Downing Street during the restrictions in 2020). The Speaker of the House of Commons, Labor Lindsay Hoyle, is in talks with the government to determine whether it will be necessary to convene the deputies.
Johnson is awaiting the latest data on the evolution of the epidemic.
It decided last week not to impose further restrictions in light of the Imperial College London report that concluded that
the risk of hospitalization with the omicron variant is up to 40% or 45% lower than with the Delta variant
.
On this occasion, the
premier
could rely on the double increase (of 46% and 39%) in the administration of the first and second doses of vaccines in the last week, as well as on the boost of the third dose of reinforcement that now reaches 48% of the population and that has exceeded the target of one million daily vaccinated for several days.
Despite being the first European country to start with mass vaccination, the United Kingdom has lagged
behind other European countries such as Spain.
It is estimated that more than five million Britons have not been vaccinated and resistance has been increasing in recent weeks, along with the rejection of the new restrictions and criticism of the Johnson Government for its double standards against Covid.
