UK WILL HAVE LOCKDOWN-FREE CHRISTMAS -BORIS JOHNSON

Sun 31 October 2021:

Despite an alarming increase of COVID-19 cases, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is sure that the UK would have a Christmas without restrictions, according to Bloomberg.

“I see no evidence whatever to think that any kind of lockdown is on the cards, Johnson told reporters en route to the Group of 20 summit in Rome. “Yes it’s true that cases are high, but they do not currently constitute any reason to go to Plan B.

After unexpectedly changing direction last December and canceling plans to allow families to see each other over the holidays, Johnson will want to uphold his promise of a lockdown-free Christmas this year.

The problem is that Britain is entering winter with one of Europe’s highest rates of new coronavirus cases, with 186 more deaths from the pandemic confirmed on Friday, bringing the total number of deaths to over 140,000. Johnson, on the other hand, has been firm in his determination to emphasize a return to normalcy and economic opening, even if it means more infections.

“The best thing everybody can do is get that booster jab as soon as you’re offered it, Johnson said.

“Please, please, please can everybody get their boosters.
