British Prime Minister: plans to lift the remaining epidemic prevention restrictions in England in advance
2022-02-10
British Prime Minister Johnson said at the lower house of Parliament on 9 July that he planned to put an end to all the remaining anti epidemic restrictions in England in late February, including the need for COVID-19 to detect positive personnel to segregate themselves. According to the existing regulations, all COVID-19 test positive personnel in England must be isolated for at least 5 days. The measure is due to expire in March 24th. However, Johnson said that according to the current epidemic trend, the final remaining epidemic restrictions could be lifted "one month in advance". He will introduce the government's long-term epidemic prevention strategy in parliament on the 21st of this month. The latest plan announced by Johnson on the 9th has aroused strong opposition from many experts and scholars. Some experts said that the move "is not subject to scientific guidance" and "violates the basic principles of public health", which will put vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly at risk and cause more people to suffer from long-term symptoms of the new crown. According to the COVID-19 data released by the British government on 9, 68214 new confirmed cases were identified in the country, and 18000119 cases were confirmed. There were 276 new deaths, with a total of 158953 deaths; More than 91% of people aged 12 and over have been vaccinated with at least one dose of neocoronavirus vaccine, more than 84% have been vaccinated with at least two doses of vaccine, and about 65% have been vaccinated with booster shots. In January 27th, the British government ended the B plan to deal with the COVID-19 variant: "autumn and winter plan for COVID-19", which was launched in January 27th. From that day on, people in England did not need to wear masks, and no vaccine passes were required in public places and activities. Epidemic prevention and control measures in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have also been relaxed. (Xinhua News Agency)
