The coro­na infec­tion num­bers in Great Britain are sky­rock­et­ing. Prime Min­is­ter John­son wants to intro­duce stricter rules again. It is known in advance: pubs and restau­rants have to close ear­li­er. A gov­ern­ment advi­sor expects sig­nif­i­cant­ly more deaths soon. The British gov­ern­ment is tight­en­ing the restric­tions in the cater­ing trade due to the sharp increase in the num­ber of coro­na infec­tions across Eng­land. From Thurs­day, all restau­rants, pubs and bars have to close at 10 p.m., as the gov­ern­ment in Lon­don has now announced. Also in the cater­ing facil­i­ties it is only allowed to serve at the table. These reg­u­la­tions are part of a new pack­age of mea­sures against the coro­na virus, which Prime Min­is­ter Boris John­son wants to present on Tues­day. In some regions of north­ern and cen­tral Eng­land, such restric­tions in the cater­ing indus­try are already in force. The new nation­wide mea­sures are nec­es­sary to “keep the rise in virus cas­es under con­trol,” said a gov­ern­ment spokesman. The UK gov­ern­ment is only respon­si­ble for infec­tion con­trol mea­sures in Eng­land. How­ev­er, it is expect­ed that the rest of the Unit­ed King­dom — Scot­land, Wales and North­ern Ire­land — will also impose new coro­na restric­tions shortly.

200 deaths per day expect­ed in November

The heads of health ser­vices across the UK had raised the coro­na alert lev­el from three to four. Lev­el four means that the virus is trans­mit­ted to an “increased” extent or that the infec­tion rate increas­es “in an expo­nen­tial man­ner”. The new coro­n­avirus infec­tions record­ed dai­ly in the UK could reach 50,000 by mid-Octo­ber, the government’s sci­en­tif­ic advis­er Patrick Val­lance warned in a tele­vised address. They are cur­rent­ly around 6,000. The dai­ly num­ber of coro­na deaths could rise to around 200 cas­es by mid-Novem­ber if the sit­u­a­tion con­tin­ues to wors­en at the same pace, Val­lance said.

“This is the prob­lem for all of us”

The top physi­cian in Eng­land, Chris Whit­ty, com­pared the sit­u­a­tion with that in Spain and France, where the num­ber of new coro­na infec­tions dou­bled every sev­en days. He urged the pop­u­la­tion to adhere to the rules of dis­tance. “This is not anyone’s prob­lem. This is the prob­lem for all of us,” he said. Great Britain is the coun­try most severe­ly affect­ed by the coro­na pan­dem­ic in Europe. Accord­ing to offi­cial sta­tis­tics, almost 42,000 peo­ple have already died there as a result of the infec­tion. After the infec­tion process slowed down tem­porar­i­ly in the sum­mer months, the num­ber of new infec­tions every day has been ris­ing rapid­ly for some time.
