Complete lockdown in UK

Lockdown in UK: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced another national lockdown from early Wednesday.

The lockdown was declared following a continuing spike in the number of new Covid-19 cases.

In an address to the nation, Johnson said the variant has been spreading at an 'alarming rate'. The country registered over 50,000 daily infections for seven consecutive days.

The restrictions with the main message to 'stay at home' will last for six weeks.
