Too many new infections and too few tests: The British government is placing all of London under close surveillance. In Wales, authorities are going even further, imposing strict curfews on some cities. Corona is also drawing a new border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. For the first time since the nationwide lockdown in Great Britain in the spring, curfews have been ordered for several cities in Wales. Welsh Health Minister Vaughan Getting said the cities of Cardiff and Swansea are only allowed in or out of the city for work, school and other valid reasons. The measure will come into force on Sunday evening. For the city of Llanelli, it will apply from Saturday. It is also prohibited for visitors who do not belong to the household to stay indoors. “These measures reflect the seriousness of the situation,” said Getting. A total of 1.5 million Welsh people are affected by the measures – almost half of the population in the British province.

With almost 42,000 deaths, Great Britain is the country most affected by the corona pandemic in Europe and wants to prevent a second nationwide lockdown if possible. The reproduction rate – the number of people infected by an infected person – is increasing and is between 1.2 and 1.5 across the country.

London is fighting against low test capacity

The British capital, London, has been placed on the list of areas under strict surveillance by the government. Mayor Sadiq Khan warned the city was at “a very worrying tipping point”. The lack of test capacities was “completely unacceptable”, he criticized. In view of the steadily increasing number of new corona infections, new restrictions came into force in England on Thursday. Among other things, all restaurants and pubs must close at 10 p.m. For large parts of northern and central England, stricter corona measures already apply than in the rest of the country. Officials in Leeds said new rules are very likely, including a ban on meeting members of different households in private homes.

Ireland and Northern Ireland: Avoid crossing borders

Meanwhile, the heads of the health authorities of Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland appealed to people to avoid border crossings as much as possible. Northern Irishman Michael McBride and his Irish colleague Ronan Glynn also appealed to employers on both sides of the border to allow their employees to work from home. For people living in the border areas, “this is not welcome news, but we must prevent this virus from spreading further and we can only do that by working together to protect one another”. Ireland has seen a steady increase in new corona infections with 324 new cases in the past few weeks. Northern Ireland, on the other hand, registered one of the steepest curves in new infections in Great Britain.
