British Prime Minister Johnson has announced that he would like to abolish the quarantine obligation in the event of a new coronavirus infection by the end of this month, one month ahead of schedule.
As a countermeasure against the infection of the new coronavirus, England, where London is located, is obliged to quarantine for a minimum of 5 days if infected, but the government has announced that it will be abolished later next month.
However, Prime Minister Johnson said in Congress on the 9th, "I want to end the regulations including the quarantine obligation in case of infection one month ahead of schedule," and said that he would like to abolish the quarantine obligation by the end of this month.
In the UK, there were days when the number of infected people exceeded 200,000 a day, but recently it has been on a downward trend, and in recent days it has been in the 50,000 to 60,000 range.
Prime Minister Johnson also announced on the 21st of this month that he intends to present a new strategy for coexistence with the new Corona.
In England, the obligation to wear masks in indoor public facilities was abolished on the 27th of last month, and there will be almost no border measures for those who have finished vaccination on the 11th of this month.
While the government's policy of abolishing quarantine obligations is considered realistic, there are also cautious views that there is a risk of spreading the infection, and there is disagreement among experts.
