Boris Johnson has announced a new national lockdown for England – with people instructed to “stay at home” as they did during last March’s first shutdown.
The prime minister revealed the action in an eight-minute TV address on Monday night, after being told that COVID-19 cases are rising rapidly in every part of the country due to the new coronavirus variant.
The public are being asked to follow the new rules, which replace the tiers system, from this evening.
It is expected the new lockdown in England – the third time a national shutdown has been introduced – will last until the middle of February.

They lost 2 weeks of precious time in fighting this Corona, when they could have been giving this vaccination these past 2 weeks, but instead opted to take full vacation from before xmas unto after New Year putting more lives at risk in honor of xmas, so they only have themselves to blame for this horrifying mess. They wouldn’t even ship out new supplies to medical facilities during these past 2 weeks, so even now, the medical facilities are backlogged in being able to jump-start administering these urgent life saving vaccinations.
