As in an endless nightmare, the coronavirus does not stop alerting the world. Now, a new strain of the virus is rapidly spreading across the UK, specifically in south-east England, where the city of London is located.
In this chilling setting, the government of Boris Johnson announced that from Sunday until December 30 it will tighten restrictions in the British capital and surrounding areas, where the new strain is spreading more rapidly.
The prime minister specified that during the end of the year these regions will go from level 3 to 4, the strictest of all, amid a wave of infections due to the new variant of COVID-19 that is transmitted “much more easily” Johnson stated.
Level 4 is the harshest of isolates: it urges residents to stay home, with limited exceptions, and non-essential businesses must remain closed; It is also not allowed to travel to another area that is on a lower level or abroad.
“It seems that this spread is fueled by a new variant of the virus,” which is transmitted “much more easily,” said the prime minister at a press conference, although he clarified that “nothing indicates that it is more deadly or that it causes a more severe form. of the illness”.
