The UK Locks-Down For November

The UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave a statement at the coronavirus press conference on October 31, 2020: 'So now is the time to take action because there is no alternative... during the COVID-19 pandemic. From Thursday until the start of December 2020, you must stay at home.'

'You may only leave home for specific reasons, including for education and if you cannot work from home; For exercise and recreation outdoors, with your household or on your own with one person from another household; For medical reasons, appointments and to escape injury or harm; To shop for food and essentials; And to provide care for vulnerable people, or as a volunteer.'

'I’m afraid non-essential shops, leisure, and entertainment venues will all be closed. Pubs, bars, restaurants must close except for takeaway and delivery services.'

And, 'Single adult households can still form exclusive support bubbles with one other household, and children will still be able to move between homes if their parents are separated. If you are clinically vulnerable, or over the age of 60, you should be especially careful to follow the rules and minimize your contacts with others.' stated Prime Minister Johnson.
