As the ministers took a cautious approach to England’s “Freedom Day” on July 19 in response to the soaring coronavirus cases, he will be encouraged to use a domestic vaccine passport and mask.
Experts worry that despite the protection provided by vaccination campaigns, as the number of cases surges, 200 people may die every day.
Boris Johnson Tell one Downing Street Press conference: “It is absolutely vital that we act cautiously now. I can’t say it forcefully or emphasize that this pandemic is not over yet.
“This disease, the coronavirus, continues to pose risks to you and your family.
“We cannot simply return to life before Covid immediately from Monday, July 19.
“We will stick to the plan to remove legal restrictions and social distancing, but we expect and recommend people to wear masks in crowded and enclosed spaces, because in these places you will come into contact with people you don’t usually meet, such as on public transportation. “
Mr. Johnson warned that July 19 “should not be regarded as an invitation by everyone, but to celebrate a great jubilee and freedom from any form of caution or restraint”.
He said he still hopes that the roadmap is “irreversible”, but “in order to do this, it must also be a cautious approach.”
We have entered the pandemic phase, there is no easy answer, and no obvious unlock date
although government In order to work from home from Monday as much as possible, the ministers encouraged companies to gradually return to the workplace.
nightclub Mr. Johnson said that since the first lockdown in March 2020, the venue will reopen on July 19, and other venues with crowds should use vaccine passports “out of social responsibility” to enter.
The Covid Pass on the NHS app shows proof of double vaccination, a recent negative test, or natural immunity recovered from the coronavirus.
Although the initial use of it is voluntary, if the number of cases continues to increase, the government may consider mandatory use in certain places in the future.
Mr. Johnson admitted that the current wave of cases will mean more hospitalizations and deaths.
But he said: “We have entered the pandemic phase, there is no simple answer, and there is no clear unlock date.”
Postponed to fall may reopen when the school returns from summer vacation, and as the weather gets colder, people spend more time indoors.
According to the current model, the peak period is not expected to occur before mid-August, when 1,000 to 2,000 people may be admitted to the hospital every day, and the death toll is expected to reach between 100 and 200 people per day, but there is great uncertainty.
– As of 9 am on Monday, there are 34,471 laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 cases in the UK.
– As of Monday, within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19, 6 more people died, bringing the total in the UK to 128,431.
– As of July 11, about 45,923,721 people had received the first dose of the vaccine—an increase of 42,000 the day before—and 34,872,131 people had received two vaccinations at the same time, an increase of 107,620.
The ministers concluded that the four tests set up for unlocking, the successful launch of the vaccine, evidence that the vaccine has led to a reduction in hospitalizations and deaths, and the infection rate will not risk a surge in “unsustainable” pressure on the NHS. And there are no new variants of attention that have derailed progress, being met, allowing step 4 of the roadmap to proceed as planned.
Professor Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer, said experts were “cautious” when interpreting data on NHS risks.
“We cannot be as confident in this test as other tests,” he said.
“But at this point, the modeling data and other data means that if we progress slowly in the next phase of the roadmap, this is not expected to reach the point where it will impose unsustainable pressure on the NHS.”
Professor Whitty said that “there is no clear evidence” that the delay of reopening now will have an impact, but “things that will have an impact are progressing slowly”.
Sanitation Committee Sajid Javid Tell members of Congress that the government’s approach is to “stroke a balance between the harm caused by Covid and the undeniable harm caused by restrictions”.
Mr. Javid said: “Sadly, the number of cases will get worse before it improves-we may reach 100,000 cases a day later in the summer.”
Mr. Javid said that although the number of hospitalizations will also rise further, it is “far lower than that of the previous wave” and that the vaccine “severely weakened” the link between people contracting the coronavirus and eventually suffering from serious illness and possible death. Say.
Although legal restrictions are still in place, the guidelines will clearly state that people and companies will continue to take action to limit the spread of the virus.
As the government shifts responsibilities from the state to company owners and citizens, a series of guidance documents will set out the expectations of the company.
This includes new guidelines for people who are clinically extremely vulnerable, those who are most at risk of contracting the coronavirus.
A further review will be conducted in September to assess the country’s preparations for autumn and winter.
The Shadow Minister of Health Jonathan Ashworth told Mr. Javid that he had adopted a “high-risk, indeed fatalistic approach” and that “he did not step on the accelerator carefully and loosen the seat belt at the same time”.
Matthew Fair, chief policy officer for the UK at the Confederation of British Industry, said: “With the full reopening of the English economy soon, we are now entering a new phase of the pandemic: coexisting with the virus.
“The government has correctly specified how we do this in a pragmatic, pragmatic, and easy-to-follow manner. Instilling confidence in the plan for businesses and the public is critical to success.”
