Boris Johnson Announces Three-Tier Coronavirus Alert System
Britsh Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a new three-tiered coronavirus restriction system where areas will be subject to escalating levels of lockdown measures depending on the severity of outbreaks.
We’re entering a new and crucial phase in our fight against coronavirus because the number of cases has gone up four times in four weeks, and it’s once again spreading among the elderly and vulnerable. There are already more Covid patients in U.K. hospitals today than there were on the 23rd of March, when the whole country went into lockdown and deaths, alas, are also rising once again. So we can squash this virus wherever it appears, we are today simplifying, standardizing, and in some places, toughening local rules in England by introducing three levels of Covid alert. Medium, with existing national measures, such as the Rule of 6 and the closure of hospitality at 10 p.m. High, with extra measures, including a ban on indoor social mixing between households or support bubbles. And Very High, for places where without further action, the N.H.S. will swiftly be under intolerable pressure. Areas within the Very High Alert category will be reviewed every four weeks, and nowhere will be shut down indefinitely. At a minimum, they will sadly include a ban on all social mixing between households in private places, including gardens. And pubs and bars must close, unless they can operate solely as a restaurant serving alcohol only as part of a main meal. We will also ask people not to travel into and out of Very High Alert-level areas.
