Health Sec: 'Any New COVID-19 Restrictions Different From Last Time'

UK

Notable focus in the UK today on the potential for the country to enter a second lockdown as COVID-19 cases rise notably (although this has not been matched by a major spike in hospitalisations or fatalities).

  • Speaking to ITV's This Morning, Health Secretary Matt Hancock says the UK is approaching a 'tipping point' with regards to new COVID-19 cases.
  • Argues that most new infections are coming from people meeting socially rather than in schools or workplaces.
  • Says the gov't is determined to keep schools open.
  • Argues any new restrictions will not mirror those of the first COVID-19 lockdown in March-July.
  • This could point towards greater restrictions or closure of parts of the hospitality sector, which is already struggling significantly with reduced footfall and limited gov't support during the initial wave of the pandemic.
