Today, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that he will impose stricter sanctions on England in the near future. The move is to curb the rampant increase in the transmission of the Covid-19 pademic and also to provide an indication that the secondary school will continue to be closed until further notice.
Covid-19 cases have increased significantly in Britain in recent weeks driven by a variety of epidemics and are more contagious. On Sunday there were nearly 55,000 new cases and a total of more than 75,000 people in Britain died due to Covid-19 infection. Britain is currently the second highest country in Eroah in the case of Covid-19 infection.
According to Johnson, the recent increase in cases of Covid-19 infection is becoming more alarming so more decisive action should be taken and it is expected to make an announcement in the near future.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock argues that level 3 preventive measures are less effective. On the other hand, Johnson also informed that the high school is likely to still be closed.
The Covid-19 prevention measure, which was first implemented in May last year, has led to a 25% decline in economic output, an unprecedented drop in numbers. Although the economy recorded a recovery in the third quarter, new preventive measures could threaten a double-dip recession in early 2021.
The sterling currency depreciated by 0.32% to $ 1.3629 against the US dollar after reaching its highest level.
