British Prime Minister Johnson announced the closure of London on Friday, demanding that local cafes, bars and restaurants be closed from now on.
According to the British "Guardian" reported on June 5438+09, on June 5438+08, the British government officially announced that the national schools would be closed indefinitely, and two important entrance examinations, GCSE and A-level, were completely suspended. This rare measure is the first time in modern British history, which marks a "new leap" in the level of epidemic prevention in Britain-and just three days ago, Downing Street 10 said that closing schools was one of the "most unwilling" measures of the government.
According to the latest news from Dutch media BNO News Network, 7 14 cases were confirmed in COVID-19, and 33 new deaths were reported in Britain. The cumulative number of confirmed cases reached 3,983, and the cumulative number of deaths reached 177.
According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the Guardian on the 20th, British Prime Minister Johnson announced on the same day that from now on, all cafes, bars and restaurants must be closed except for food and drinks. All nightclubs, theaters, cinemas, gyms and leisure centers should also be "closed as soon as possible" to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. He said that these measures will be "strictly" implemented.
City life of Londoners Many British people worry that this will have a serious impact on their lives. The media said that once the city is blocked, the supply of living materials in the city is one of the biggest problems. Today, the phenomenon of "panic buying" is still serious. At present, many large supermarkets are seriously short of food supply, and the lives of vulnerable groups such as the elderly are worrying. On the front page of 19, the British Metropolis Daily published a photo taken in a supermarket in Surrey, in which an old man stood in front of an empty shelf with a helpless and disappointed expression. This photo has been widely circulated on British social platforms, and Metropolis Daily said that hoarders who snapped up supplies should be ashamed of their selfish behavior.
Johnson also appealed to people not to go out for the last time that night. He said, "Please don't (go out). You may think you are invincible, but you may have mild symptoms. You may still be the carrier of this virus and spread it to others. " "The more effectively we follow these suggestions, the faster the country can achieve a comprehensive recovery of health care and economy."
