To further strengthen anti-epidemic measures, the British government is considering closing the border completely. Including the implementation of further travel restrictions; compulsory immigrants to wear electronic bracelets for 10 days to ensure that they are in self-isolation.

 

In terms of vaccines, a total of 5.8 million people have received their first shot. According to the latest data released by the British Government’s Scientific Advisory Panel, the basic infection rate of the virus across the UK has dropped from before, indicating that the blockade is beginning to take effect.
