The COVID Diaries – 189 13th October
The Independent has reported:
“Sir Keir Starmer has called for a three-week “circuit breaker” lockdown as the UK coronavirus death toll rose by 143, the highest daily rise since June.
“Meanwhile, local leaders in London believe tougher lockdown restrictions are “inevitable” as Covid-19 as infections rise across the city.
“While the capital is currently classed as “medium” risk under tier 1 – the lowest level of the government’s new three-tier local lockdown strategy – mayor Sadiq Khan has warned the city could be upgraded to “high” alert under tier 2 within days. “
