The move marks a significant U-turn after ministers previously insisted staff should return to their desks.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson told the House of Commons that Britain had reached a \u201cperilous turning point\u201d toward a second wave of the virus but said \u201cwe are acting on the principle that a stitch in time saves nine.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nThere are fears in the food and drink industry that the new measures for hospitality could lead to hundreds of thousands of job losses.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He said that without a breakthrough in treatments or a vaccination, the new measures could be in place for around six months, but he warned that harsher measures could yet be imposed if the virus continues to spread quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must emphasize, that if all our actions fail to bring the [reproduction] number below one, then we reserve the right to deploy greater firepower with significantly greater restrictions,\u201d he told MPs. \u201cI fervently want to avoid taking this step, as do the devolved administrations, but we will only be able to avoid it if our new measures work and our behavior changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.K. Cabinet has been split in recent weeks over how to tackle the spike in infections. Chancellor Rishi Sunak was reported to be pushing Johnson to avoid stringent measures in a bid to protect the economy, but Health Secretary Matt Hancock was reported to be pushing for harder measures to minimize deaths from the virus.<\/p>\n<p>After the new rules were unveiled, both camps insisted they were on the same page. \u201cMatt is fully supportive of these measures,\u201d a health official said. \u201cWe need to suppress the virus whilst protecting the economy and education. Crucially, we must act now to prevent even further economic damage down the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Treasury official said the government was collectively navigating difficult trade-offs.<\/p>\n<p>The new measures also included limiting weddings to 15 people from Monday and banning some sports events. Enforcement will also be ramped up for people who refuse to wear masks and businesses which do not adhere to the rules. The mandatory use of masks will be extended to people in taxis as well as retail and hospitality workers.<\/p>\n<p>A Downing Street spokesman said the hope was that the package of measures \u201csuppresses the virus but does so in a way which seeks to minimize the impact on the economy and also ensures we can continue with the key priority of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/boris-johnson-cautious-approach-second-uk-coronavirus-lockdown\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snap.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/politico-logo.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">politico<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON \u2014 Boris Johnson took a softly-softly..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":151504,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-151503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
