British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has unveiled an updated plan for handling Britain\u2019s COVID-19 infection after the country\u2019s partial national lockdown is lifted December 2.<\/p>\n
In video message to Parliament Monday, Johnson said the lockdown will be lifted next Wednesday as promised. He said although Britain will return to the regional system that was in place prior to the lockdown, he has received scientific advice indicating the tiers need to be tougher to adequately reduce the infection rate.<\/p>\n
In the new tier 1, people will be required to work from home if they can. In tier 2, pubs will only be able to serve drinks with a "substantial meal." And in tier 3, indoor entertainment and hotels will close, and restaurants and pubs will only be allowed to open for take-out.<\/p>\n
As before, Johnson said the tiers will be determined based on the rate of COVID-19 infections in each area, with the toughest measures implemented where the disease is most prevalent. The government will announce which areas will be under which tier later this week.<\/p>\n
