London, England (News of The South) –
The UK is set to start the 2nd lockdown on Thursday.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said if tough action is not taken the consequences of the coronavirus will be disastrous.
Today the MPs are to vote in the commons to decide the course of action to take.
Johnson said if action is not taken, “The sick would be turned away because there was no room in our hospitals.”
On Monday the UK recorded 136 deaths within 28 days of a positive test which goes on to show how dire the situation really is.
The Prime Minister said the national lockdown that will begin on Thursday will end on December 2.
Mr Johnson said, “I believe that these technical developments taken together, will enable us to defeat the virus by the spring. As humanity has defeated every other infectious disease and I am not alone in this optimism.”
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has accused the PM of being “too slow and behind the curve”, putting “what he hoped would happen ahead of what is happening.”
