LONDON: Prime Minister Boris Johnson requested England to be in a month-long lockdown in early November. The British government has set out coronavirus restrictions for each local authority in England. The restrictions will face when a national lockdown ends next week allowing businesses to reopen in areas where infection rates are lower.
The restrictions ordered by Boris after the cases of coronavirus. Lately, the deaths have again started rising, angering businesses and some of his own political party over the economic consequences. Some new measures are set out on Monday to replace the lockdown from December 2, reinforcing a previous regional approach and warning that some areas would move into a higher alert level. The Health Secretary Matt Hancock tells parliament about the three tiers, ranging from the lowest at tier 1 to the highest at 3, each English local authority will fall under on Thursday. Tier 3 means bars, cafes and restaurants must remain shut except for takeaway services, and that households cannot mix except in public places outdoors. The areas under this will be offered support from National Health Service Test and Trace and the armed forces to deliver a six-week rapid community testing program, utilizing lateral flow COVID-19 tests, which give results within an hour.
Tiers will be evaluated on December 16 after the new measures for post-lockdown, making it possible for areas that slow the spread of the virus to be moved down a tier before Christmas.
