Rally in England is banned from rallying more than 6 people due to a surge in virus cases

LONDON (AP) — UK government wants authorities to shut down new coronavirus infections every day after a sharp spike across the UK, where young people ignoring society and attending parties are largely blamed. Therefore, the British government prohibits gatherings of 6 or more people. Distance rule.

Downing Street said urgent action is needed after the number of daily positive cases confirmed in the laboratory reached nearly 3,000 on Sunday. The figure fell to 2,460 on Tuesday.

Officials said Monday that the legal limits for all social gatherings in the UK would be reduced from the current 30 to six. The new law applies both indoors and outdoors, including private homes, restaurants and parks. Failure to comply can result in a fine of £100 ($130).

Weddings, schools, funerals and organized team sports are exempt. Larger groups are also allowed if the household or “support bubble” is greater than 6.

Government ministers and scientists used the airways to urge British to stay alert.

“I was able to relax a bit during the summer… but these latest numbers really show what people might want to say, “Well, it’s gone”-this doesn’t go away. Dr. Jonathan said, Vantam, Deputy Chief Medical Officer of the government.

He said he was worried about “more common and creeping geographic trends” throughout the UK, while the increase in infections was “much more pronounced” among people between 17 and 21.

“People were too relaxed,” he said. “It’s time for us to get involved again and realize that this is a continuing threat.”

The UK virus has the worst death toll in Europe, killing about 41,600 people within 28 days of a positive test. Actual tolls are believed to be much higher, as the government tally does not include those who die without being tested.

The surge in cases in the UK is followed by a significant increase in the number of daily cases in Spain and France, both of which have led to an increase in hospitalizations for COVID-19 patients. In Spain, there were an average of 8,800 new cases per day on weekends, and in France over 5,000 new cases per day.

Concerns are that Britain will also begin to see an increase in viral cases hospitalized and dead.

“Young people are less likely to die from this disease, but there is no doubt that they are still at risk,” Secretary of Health Matt Hancock told Parliamentarians six months after being infected. Told. Fatigue, muscle aches, difficulty breathing.

Boris Johnson’s conservative administration has faced strong criticism of its mixed message since it began easing the coronavirus blockade at the end of spring. It encourages people to spend most of the summer eating out to support the hospitality industry and is now calling on workers to return to their offices to help their smash hit business in the city

John Edmunds, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Diseases and Epidemiology, said the number of cases “is not spectacular” is increasing, but what happens after school or college reopens? I’m worried.

“There are big moves in the country and these will inevitably accelerate the epidemic,” he told SkyNews. “I don’t know if I need to get back to work when I can work from home.”

The government has also been criticized for testing the issue and urges Sarah-Jane Marsh, head of the National Health Service’s Test and Trace program, to apologize.

“All our test sites have capacity, so they don’t look overcrowded. A key pinch point is lab processing,” she said. “We are committed to expanding as quickly as possible.”

“The test team works 18 hours a day, 7 days a week,” she said.

Still, the UK is testing tens of thousands more than the early months of the pandemic. On Monday, we processed about 175,000 tests.

Meanwhile, a local blockade took place Tuesday in the Welsh region of Carefilly. Under the new restrictions, people there will not be able to enter or leave the area without a valid excuse. All persons over the age of 11 must wear a mask in the store and indoor meetings between different households are prohibited.

Hancock also announced a new blockade restriction for Bolton, which has the highest number of coronavirus infections per capita in northwestern England. Most new cases involve people between the ages of 18 and 49. At Hancock restaurants, cafes and pubs, Bolton currently offers take-away services only.
