Liverpool leaders are pushing for a new blockade in the wake of the coronavirus surge.

Liverpool case Despite successfully leading the national pilots of community testing and becoming the first city to move from Tier 3 to Tier 2, the city has nearly tripled to 350 per 100,000 in the last two weeks.

Deputy mayor Wendy Simon The city council cabinet says urgent action is now needed to save the NHS. Countless lives.

They are asking the UK government to introduce it National blockade To prevent the current crisis from developing into a full-scale catastrophe.

Liverpool’s call is because public health data show that the new strain of Covid-19 is infected faster, leading hospitals in and around London to incite disaster protocols.

The city also said that while the country waits for the vaccine to be deployed, the successful, locally-led approach developed by the country’s mass trial pilots should be implemented nationwide as an emergency stop gap.

Cllr Simon says the new national blockade, combined with mass testing, is the only way to slow the spread of new strains of the virus and prevent the rest of the country from following the same trajectory as London.

Public health ministers Cllr Paul Brant and Cllr Wendy Simon said: “It is clear that the country is currently at a crossroads with Covid-19.

“The deployment of the vaccine has given us all the hope that this nightmare will end soon, but the truth is that the long-awaited return to normal is a few months away.

“Today, the reality is that this toxic new virus is on the rise. We now need to act to prevent the danger of releasing even more pain and distress.

“2020 may have passed, but the coronavirus wasn’t, and we need to pay attention to last year’s lessons.

“It begins with a clear and decisive action by our government that leaves the public uninterpretable and gives the public the clarity and confidence to act responsibly.

“We need a government that listens to them on the front lines, both in hospitals and on the front lines.

“We can deal with the blockade as a nation. It has been possible before. The sooner we move, the more lives we will save and the faster we will recover.”

They added: “Yes, our retail and hospitality departments are in pain, but they want long-term security and strong recovery, and the blockade provides both, especially to protect the most vulnerable people. You will also need additional packages of welfare and financial support.

“It’s self-evident that the tier system doesn’t suppress the virus, as seen in Liverpool before Christmas. People have moved from areas of tighter restrictions to areas of lower limits, and contain this new strain. Is not done.

“Companies want the end of Covid-19, so they can start trading successfully again and protect the economy only by controlling the virus. Before the vaccine takes root. , That means stopping the virus as effectively as possible. Blockade is the most effective tool at your disposal.

“London rates are a big concern and we’ll see these rates here and across the country soon. But wait for the problem to escalate and be resolved. Get ahead of the curve and act now. ..

“We are all familiar with the disastrous consequences and costs, especially for the most vulnerable people in our community.

“Millions of British people have made many sacrifices over the last decade. None of us want those efforts to be wasted. Many to limit the virus. Despite the progress made, all we can do is the individual. The country is now facing a catastrophe that undoes much of what would have been achieved if we did not act together.
