A partial return of the English fans to the stadiums next month
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave the green light Monday for a partial return of fans to the open sports stadiums from next December 2, including the Premier League football matches.
The British government has limited the number of attendees in the stadiums to a maximum of 4,000 or 50 percent of the capacity of the stadiums, whichever is less, in the areas least affected by the outbreak of the new Corona virus, while the maximum number was set at two thousand spectators or half of the stadium (whichever is less) in the middle areas Damage in terms of the spread of the epidemic.
The stadiums will remain closed to the entire public in the classified areas most affected in the country until further notice.
The government has also set the maximum number of audiences for indoor stadiums in the first and second regions to 1,000, and this includes theaters, halls for concerts or business conferences.
Today, Monday, Johnson reveals in detail his plan for local restrictions that will be imposed in the face of the spread of the new Corona virus, to replace the closure in England from early December, which is based on intensifying examinations.
The restrictions will be eased on some days of the Christmas holidays, and talks are underway between the government and the authorities of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to try to adopt a unified approach, as each British province usually decides its own health strategy.
In England, the local restrictions plan approved by the Cabinet on Sunday will restore the same restrictions that were imposed before the four-week closure announced on November 5, but more areas will be placed at a more stringent level.
The level of restrictions in each region will be revealed on Thursday.
"In order for the basic groups of the population to be vaccinated, we must continue to work to keep things under control, but I hope people will see that there is a problem," Health Minister Matt Hancock told Sky News.
And the British pharmaceutical company, AstraZeneca, announced in a statement today, Monday, that it had developed a vaccine against Covid-19 in cooperation with the University of Oxford, with an average effectiveness of 70%.
Johnson said that "these results are very encouraging and represent a big step forward in our battle against Covid-19," adding, "There are more tests that need to be done, but these are great results."
This plan will be accompanied by a program of rapid intensive checks for residents in areas classified as "high risk".
This is what happened during the experiment, which was considered "successful" in Liverpool (northwest), where more than 200,000 people were examined since early November, as the government announced in the statement.
Britain, the European country most affected by the epidemic, has counted more than 55,000 deaths and more than 1.5 million injuries.
