As UK continues to record increasing cases every day, it has become a concern for the PM. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday designed out the details of a new graded three-tier system of COVID-19 alert levels, which will categorize the localized lockdowns across England into “medium, high or very high” based on their coronavirus communication rate. The very high alert level will implement where hauling rates are soaring “most rapidly”, with social mixing banned indoors and outdoors and forced closure of pubs and other hospitality businesses.

Greeting the Parliament, Johnson said the new categories are intended to “simplify and standardize” all the different lockdown rules already in place. The new rules are to be debated by MPs in the House of Commons on Tuesday before coming into force from Wednesday, with a review of the system in a month’s time. “This is not how we want to live our lives, but this is the narrow path we have to tread between the social and economic trauma of a full lockdown and the massive human and indeed the economic cost of an uncontained epidemic,” Johnson told members of Parliament.

He added, “I must warn the House the weeks and months ahead will continue to be difficult and will test the mettle of this country. I have no doubt at all that together we will succeed.” The medium alert level or Tier 1 is the lowest alert level, which will cover most of the country and involve the current national lockdown measures of the “rule of six” on gatherings and hospitality sector shutdowns at 10 pm. Tier 2, or the high alert level, will involve restrictions already in place in some local areas with stricter bans on indoor mixing but outdoor mixing allowed within the rule of six numbers.
