UK PM Johnson is facing intense pressure to impose another national lockdown within days – The Guardian

Although global vaccine developed and medical authorities are optimistic to overcome the new strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19), The Guardian came out with the news suggesting a national lockdown in the UK during late Monday.

The news relies on more than 40 countries’ ban on the arrivals from the UK as well as government scientific advisers’ warning to cite the pressure on British PM Boris Johnson.

Elsewhere, The Telegraph came out with the news suggesting the British government’s consideration to keep schools closed for the whole of January.
