Covid: Gb makes plans for the winter, 3 / a dose and no lockdown

(ANSA) - LONDON, SEPTEMBER 13 - Green light for the third recall of vaccines, starting with the elderly and vulnerable, open doors to the maintenance of some precautions, but no intention of returning to a generalized lockdown.

These are the lines of the Covid containment plan in view of the winter that the Tory British government of Boris Johnson is preparing to formalize for the mouth of the premier after the last consultations tomorrow with his medical and scientific experts.

    The media anticipate it today, reporting that Johnson and his ministers are for now opposed to even imagining a new national confinement, reserving the limit - in the event of a new winter surge in infections - of being able to re-impose the use of masks in public places as a constraint (in England it is no longer mandatory anywhere from 19 July, but only "recommended" on public transport or in crowded indoor sites) and to resurrect the widespread indication of work from home. On the other hand, the hypothesis of a possible easing of the residual restrictions on travel should be clarified: in particular on the precautionary quarantine at home, which according to a journalistic investigation would not have been respected in recent months by about 300,000 people.
