Tougher restrictions imposed in England amid rising COVID-19 infections – Sydney Morning Herald
Britain has imposed tougher restrictions on people and businesses in parts of north-eastern England as the nation attempts to stem the spread of COVID-19.
The comments came after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned that authorities will have to impose tougher measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 and “protect” the Christmas holidays. In a piece published in The Sun newspaper, he said that the only way to be certain the country can enjoy the winter holidays “is to be tough now”.
“So if we can grip it now,” Johnson said, Britain can “stop the surge, arrest the spike, stop the second hump of the dromedary, flatten the second hump”.
