European countries, one after another begin to emerge from quarantine. In most countries this process takes place gradually, but almost everywhere, the authorities have already presented a programme for the phased return to a normal life. Do not stay aside and the United Kingdom, where Prime Minister Boris Johnson published his plan for a gradual return to normal life. His strategy has split Britain. While some consider all measures to rescue the economy in a timely and even overdue, while others believe that the plan of the Prime Minister may lead to new victims.
Prime Minister of Britain, Boris Johnson announced his plan for mitigation of quarantine in the near future.
the previous plan had a slogan: “stay home, help doctors save lives”. This is worded differently: “stay alert, control the virus, save lives”.
the New plan covers England, while Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will retain a hard limit as long as the local government decides that the most difficult stages of the epidemic is behind us. The first phase of the comes into effect on Wednesday, may 13.
Johnson immediately said – in his view, now is not the time to completely remove the regime of self-isolation and allow people to gather EN masse at various events.
However, to go out for sports or walks without restrictions – prior to that had a provision that allowed outside only 1 hour a day.
“it is just not the time to remove all the restrictions,” said Johnson, “Instead, we are taking the first steps towards a return to normal life.”
among the these steps, for example, included the resumption of most part of the enterprises of England. However, the Prime Minister reiterated that those who can perform their duties from home, must work “at distance”, to work should come only to those who can not help it. Johnson reiterated – now it is advisable to use public transport because of the high risk of infection.
However, the resolution of walks and unlimited playing sports in the street is only the first stage. Next, Johnson plans to open more the contact of a sphere of activity.
Since June 1, the favorable development of the situation will open schools for children of younger and middle-aged. But opening restaurants and bars in the near future should not expect: the British government plans to allow them to work in normal mode only since July.
Johnson has Also ensured that the virus was brought to the Islands from the outside – now everyone who washed up in Britain, will be placed on a mandatory two-week quarantine. The only exception is made for guests from Franz��and this was the result of long negotiations between the Prime Minister and President Johnson by Macron.
in addition, Boris Johnson has announced the creation of a system of “coronavirus danger”, which will have five levels. The first level means that the infection is no longer on the island, while the fifth – what a health service is unable to cope with the volumes of the epidemic. According to Johnson, until recently Britain was the fourth level coronavirus danger, but now the country is “gradually moving to the third”.
Many Britons took Johnson’s statement as a joyful event – mitigating measures means that the country successfully fighting the disease and is on the way to victory. However, a number of politicians have called such actions “irresponsible”.
the Plan Johnson criticised the mayor of London Sadiq Khan. According to him, “Londoners should stay at home as long as possible, and, if necessary, to leave the premises, they must comply with the measures of social distancing”. Otherwise, the city might be another outbreak of coronavirus.
Also was unhappy with the appeal of Johnson, the leaders of the regions of Britain. The first Minister of Wales, mark Drakeford said that despite the recommendation of the Prime Minister in their region recommendations to remain in isolation will not change.
Dissatisfaction was expressed by the head of the Scottish government Nicola Sturgeon. She chided Johnson in the blur of his plans, and said that “Scotland will go to the exit of the quarantine and careful tiny steps.” It seems that in this region in the near future indulgences should not wait.
