| UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has announced a second national lockdown in England as the number of the coronavirus cases in Britain soared over 1 million mark on Saturday. | |
| “I’m afraid, from Thursday, the basic message is the same: stay at home, protect the NHS, and save lives,” Johnson said. | |
| The new restrictions were “far less primitive and less restrictive” than the full-scale lockdown of March and April, he assured. | |
| From November 5 to December 2, people in England will only be allowed to go outside for specific reasons, including education, work, exercise, shopping for essentials or caring for the vulnerable. | |
| Pubs and restaurants will be shut down and only allowed to sell takeaway. All non-essential trade will also stop. | |
| However, essential shops, schools, and universities will remain open, the PM said, adding that games in the English Premier League would also continue in front of empty stands. | |
