kingofsurrey Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Happy to see Anti Mask - Dr. B's impact reduced...... great news. CKNW @CKNW JUST IN: B.C. has granted regional medical health officers the powers to issue #COVID19 restrictions for their own jurisdictions. It comes as the province topped 6,000 people in isolation due to exposure for the first time. Edited October 30, 2020 by kingofsurrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Coronavirus - UK PM Johnson to announce a new lockdown, through to until December 2 Sat 31 Oct 2020 16:17:03 GMT As COVID-19 cases in the UK accelerate higher Prime Minister Johnson will soon announce another shutdown. The measures will take effect from Thursday after a vote in the Commons on Wednesday. The main points, these via various UK media outlets with the info: pubs and restaurants to close - takeaway and delivery only non-essential retail to close manufacturing, construction permitted to continue outbound international travel banned, intra-UK travel restrictions (both except for work) schools, universities open outdoor exercise and recreation permitted no church services A month-long lockdown of this nature will slow the spread of the virus but given the experience in Melbourne (Australia) a meaningful flattening of the curve would take longer and the measures would have to be even more restrictive. What Johnson's measures should perhaps do though is relieve some of the pressure on the UK healthcare system for a time, which is a positive. ---- Latest UK number (for Saturday) just under 22,000 new confirmed cases (24,400 Friday) 326 deaths (274 on Friday) Johnson's press conference expected at 1700GMT. The new lock down was more or less inevitable given the rocketing number of infections and the approaches taken in Germany and France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid-19: PM set to announce month-long England lockdown Published 20 minutes ago IMAGE COPYRIGHTREUTERS Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to announce a second national lockdown for England as the UK passed one million Covid-19 cases. Non-essential shops and hospitality will have to close for a month, sources told the BBC. But unlike the restrictions in the spring, schools and colleges are to be allowed to stay open.

Went to the Liquor Store here last night, the sign on the door said “Masks strongly encouraged”. I wore mine, but nobody else bothered. Not the 3 other customers, and not even the employee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
