UK to speed up isolation measures after virus cases surge faster than expected

The number of cases nationwide has increased by almost 43%. FMTNews UK

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plan is aimed at making sure not to overwhelm Britain’s health system.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce measures to encourage the elderly and those most at risk to stay at home, as well as for entire families to self-isolate if any member shows any symptoms, the Times said. Army chiefs may order forces to build field hospitals and deploy military police on the country’s streets in the event of any civil unrest, according to the report.

Johnson’s administration is also concerned about the demand for medical equipment including respirators for those who develop more serious symptoms from the virus.
