British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in a televised speech on March 23, announced a series of new anti-epidemic measures, requiring people to live in isolation, in order to minimize the risk of the spread of the new crown virus and delay the spread of the epidemic.
Under the new regulations, all residents must be segregated at home to minimize the number of trips. If a person violates the ban, the police have the right to impose fines, disperse parties, etc.
The effectiveness of the new anti-epidemic regulations will be evaluated three weeks later and will be continuously observed and may be deregulated once the situation improves.
Johnson called the new crown outbreak the biggest in decades threat, Britain is facing an emergency.
No prime minister, he said, would be willing to do so, but it must be so, or the British health care system will be difficult to cope with and patients will not be treated.
Earlier, the UK government four-step strategy and measures to combat the new crown outbreak and the size and strength of the outside world hope big gap.
As of late Monday, more than 6650 cases had been diagnosed in the UK, rising to 335 in death, with the actual number believed to be between 35,000 and 50,000.
Meanwhile, British Foreign Minister Dominique Labb (Dominic Raab) called on British citizen travelling abroad to return home as soon as possible, as the spread of the new crown epidemic led more and more countries to begin to close, and the difficulty of international travel increased sharply.
What is social alienation? If the park is still so bustling, how to prevent the spread of the virus?
& quot; Home Safe & quot;
All shops, libraries, playgrounds, outdoor sports places and religious places operating non-essential items are immediately closed.
The park is still open, can go running, exercise, but no party.
Two or more people who don`t live together are meeting in public places.
Basic necessities, including food and medicine, can be purchased out of the door, but the frequency should be as low as possible, with delivery services as far as possible.
Outdoor exercise is also possible, but only once a day, one person or another person living with him, in the form of running, walking, cycling, etc.
You can go out to buy medicine or take care of the sick and disabled.
Commuting to work should be kept to a minimum and must definitely go to the office before going from home to the workplace, back and forth at two o`clock.
More than 1.5 million people in England have been identified by authorities as high-risk groups, and have been receiving text messages from medical authorities from Monday asking for 12 weeks of isolation because & quot; home is the safest & quot;..
There are 200,000 people at risk in Scotland ,70,000 in Wales and 40,000 in Northern Ireland, including those who have undergone organ transplants, have certain specific cancers and are being treated, as well as other chronic conditions.
Why more strict?
Although these measures are not new, they have government taken the attitude of providing advice and guidance to the public. In order to prevent the spread of the new crown virus, it is recommended that everyone go out only when necessary, such as purchasing food, medicine, fitness and so on.
government also requires the public to maintain a distance of more than 2 meters from each other outdoors.
However, many people did not comply with these government demands when they came out.
Just over the weekend, parks and outdoor places are still very lively and crowded. At Snowton National Park in Wales, England, for example, the number of visitors appears to be a busy scene never remembered.
Despite fewer service trips in britain`s train and the london metro, there are still plenty of passengers to work on monday, packed with carriages.
The lack of capacity of the British health system to respond to the epidemic and the growing shortage of medical resources are behind the harsh measures and the urge for public isolation.
There is a shortage of protective equipment and clothing for medical staff, and beds and equipment are also very scarce.
government also called for help from private medical institutions in response to the outbreak, in addition to returning retired doctors nurse to work.
government officials were frightened by the hustle and bustle of the park. Where is the shadow of social alienation?
What are the original restrictions?
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, government have called on people to telecommute as far as possible at home bars, restaurants, cafes, theatres and other places.
On Friday (20th), Prime Minister Johnson announced that all dining and entertainment venues were closed, serving only take-out restaurants.
On friday, britain also closed all schools, with only children of employees in key jobs such as health care workers, emergency services and logistics continuing to attend.
Previously, media reports said the British government might follow the example of European mainland countries to strengthen isolation measures.
The new measures are still less stringent than the rest of Europe.
The British Broadcasting Corporation fact check journalist Moris (Chris Morris) believes that Prime Minister Johnson`s latest announcement of the epidemic is still less severe than many other countries in Europe: in many European countries, such as France, no one is allowed to leave home without special permission.
And in Italy and Spain, government also banned all outdoor fitness activities for vaccination purposes. Thousands of violators of this provision are fined and may even be imprisoned in some countries.
The epidemic has come under intense pressure on Britain`s universal health care system
A week ago, government took the position of advising and guiding the public:
- Everyone should avoid parties and crowded places such as bars, nightclubs and theatres;
- Everyone should work at home if feasible;
- (c) No longer visit the live a retired life House to visit friends and relatives unless necessary;
- Before the weekend, people with serious health problems must & quot; avoid social activities as much as possible for about 12 weeks & quot;.
- If any family member has a persistent cough and fever, all family members must be kept at home for 14 days;
- People with persistent coughs and fever should stay at home as far as possible, avoid going out, or even go out to purchase food and necessities of life, but they can go out to exercise their bodies, in which case they should keep a safe distance from others;
- The school is still closed.
