Second Time Quarantine Plan from Boris Johnson
The quarantine plan came from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson for the second time. In order to control the increasing coronavirus cases in the country, a national quarantine is planned for the second time in England.
In England, the epidemic has spread far above expectations.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to implement a month-long national quarantine plan across the UK starting next week. Ministers will meet on Saturday to discuss next steps.
Schools, universities and major stores would be exempted from the measures, according to sources who were knowledgeable about the plan but asked not to be identified because there was no final decision. It was stated that a statement could be made on Monday that the national isolation plan would start within the week, but that the plans could change after the plans were leaked to the Times.
A second national quarantine will represent an important and politically risky plan change for
Boris Johnson, who has repeatedly stated that the strategy to fight the epidemic is favored over economically "catastrophic" comprehensive measures. Conservative Party members strongly oppose the plan and risk justifying the calls of the opposition Labor Party Leader, Keir Starmer.
