British, let’s spread a strain with a large spread… Newly established’emergency containment’ in the 4th stage

[코로나19]Highest warning in densely populated areas in the southeast such as London
Unable to invite to the house and banning 3 people from outside
The UK government, where a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) strain is rapidly spreading, has completely sealed off populated areas in the southeast, including the capital London. It was determined that the existing countermeasures were limited, and the blockade was reinforced by adding the highest warning. European countries such as Italy and Switzerland are also taking blockades.

According to the BBC, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on the 19th (local time) that “for two weeks from the 20th, the quarantine stages in London, Kent, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Portsmouth and Essex will be upgraded to four stages.” Depending on the region, it has been responded by dividing it into steps 1 to 3, but when a strain with up to 70% higher infectivity than the existing coronavirus emerged, it was decided to apply a new step 4.

In Tier 4 areas, all non-essential stores are closed. It is forbidden to meet other household members indoors, and only one person can be met outdoors. The’Christmas Bubble’, which originally agreed to allow up to three households to gather indoors for 5 days on the 23rd to 27th, is also prohibited. Outside of Tier 4, Christmas Bubbles are allowed only on the 25th day of Christmas Day.

The UK government’s action is due to the corona 19 variant virus known as’VUI-202012/01′. There is no evidence that this strain increases mortality or is not effective in vaccines, but it is known that its transmission rate itself is much faster than that of conventional viruses. In South Africa, the variant coronavirus is also on the rise. European countries are also participating in intensive reblocking. Italy enforces blockades on three occasions: 24-27, 31-January 3, and January 5 and 6 of next year. Switzerland also shuts down all restaurants and bars for a month from the 22nd. Austria also decided to restrict the operation of non-essential stores and going out from the 26th. According to Reuters and the like, the Netherlands said on the 20th that “it will temporarily ban British passenger planes from entering the country until January 1 of next year.” It also issued an order to refrain from traveling within the country.
