British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday that he had chosen a more prudent plan even though it would not be able to reverse the impact of the 'lockdown' in the near future after vaccination of 15 million people.
Nearly a quarter of the UK population has now received the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine within 2 months. Johnson is now increasingly under pressure from lawmakers and the business sector calling for the economy to reopen.
Yet he is of the view that all things must be observed first. Let the economic recovery slow down but it does not bring any worse things, Johnson said.
According to him, due to the widespread infection rate, it is okay for us to delay for a while, but if there are signs that it is getting better then the UK administration will not hesitate to withdraw the 'lockdown' measure. Johnson is expected to present and announce a contingency plan on Feb. 22. It will all depend on current developments, Johnson added.
If there are many people infected then it will lead to a high risk of viral mutations and eventually spread to the elderly and easily infected. Therefore, this matter will be the main consideration.
The United Kingdom now has the fifth highest official death toll in the world at 117,166 deaths after the United States, Brazil, Mexico and India.
