Covid today Gb, Healthcare launches alarm but gives government ‘no’ to new restrictions

If we do not act immediately to stop the Covid-19 contagion, we risk “a profound crisis” in the next 3 months. The alarm was raised by the British Health Service, which asked Prime Minister Boris Johnson to enact anti-Covid restrictions as soon as possible before the situation worsened. But for now the government has no intention of doing so. “We believe that it is not the time to move to plan B”, said the Minister of Industry Kwasi Kwarteng, interviewed on the subject by the ‘BBC’.

It will take a lot of luck not to find ourselves in the midst of a deep crisis in the next 3 months”, said today But Matthew Taylor, head of the NHS Confederation, which brings together all systems UK sanitary ware. Interviewed by the ‘Guardian’, Taylor asked the government to urgently adopt the so-called plan B for the winter: the obligation to wear a mask in various places, return to smart working and, if necessary, also the Green pass. It is also necessary, he warned, to return to a spirit of “national mobilization”, avoiding “risky behavior”. Taylor intervened after Britain yesterday recorded 223 deaths from Covid, the highest figure since March, and while in the last 7 days there has been an average of 44,145 new cases every 24 hours. There is also an increasingly difficult situation in the emergency rooms and emergency services, with waiting times for ambulances of up to 6 hours. For now, however, the government wants to keep plan A, that is, keep everything open, without the obligation of a mask, and continue with the vaccination against Covid and seasonal flu. Although vaccination has reduced the percentage of hospitalizations and deaths compared to infections, the arrival of winter could, however, significantly worsen the situation, as Taylor warns.
