Lockdown for the UK 2020

The time has come we have just got the official statement from Boris Johnson that the UK has announced a state of NATIONAL EMERGENCY and that the UK is now on lockdown. But, what does this mean?

This means that all social gatherings have been stopped apart from funerals and that you can only leave your house to get essential items from the shops that are open. All shops that do not sell essential items are to be closed this means all technology shops are going to be closed.

Will this be Enforced?

The police have now got the power to enforce these rules. Anyone out in public with non-family members can only be in groups of 2. If you are out in public without a reason then you can face a fine and further action may be taken. All social events have been canceled and you are only to leave the house for Food shopping when necessary or for medical purposes. You can I think still go in and aid family members or people who are vulnerable if they require it and we should be using food delivery services as well to get the food delivered.

How long will this last?

Boris has stated that this will last for at least 3 weeks where he will check the statistics for the coronavirus and potentially lift these drastic measures he has put in place.

Maybe now people will realize that staying inside really means staying inside to save lots of people's lives.
