Boris Johnson To Set Out 5-Tier COVID-19 Warning System In England: Report

Boris Johnson To Set Out 5-Tier COVID-19 Warning System In England: ReportLondon: 
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will set out a five-tier warning system for the coronavirus in England on Sunday when he outlines the government's plans to begin slowly easing lockdown measures, British media reported.
Johnson is due to use a televised address at 1800 GMT to announce the next steps in Britain's battle against the pandemic following a lockdown that has all but shut down the economy and kept millions at home for nearly seven weeks.
Media reported Johnson would detail a five-tier warning system for England, ranging from "green" at level one to "red" at level five to flag the COVID-19 risk in different areas and to allow the government to increase restrictions where necessary.
The United Kingdom's other constituent nations - Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - have some powers over their own lockdown measures but are expected to stay broadly in line with what the government announces for England.
Colour-coded systems to distinguish regions with more or less risk have been used in other countries as they emerge from lockdowns, including France and India.
Britain has reported 31,587 deaths from the coronavirus, the second highest death count in the world after the United States. Transport minister Grant Shapps said on Saturday there would not be any dramatic changes to the lockdown.
Johnson is expected to say people will now be allowed to leave their homes to exercise more than once a day and that garden centres - selling plants, seeds and garden equipment - can reopen.
"This is the dangerous bit," Johnson told the Sun on Sunday newspaper. "We're past the peak now but we'll have to work even harder to get every step right."
"Mountaineers always say that coming down from the peak is the most dangerous bit. That's when you're liable to be over-confident and make mistakes."
Media reported that the government would change its "Stay at home" slogan to "Stay alert", as those who cannot work from home will begin to be encouraged to return to offices and factories, as long as strict social distancing rules can be followed....................................................................................

Global coronavirus cases cross 40 million: Reuters tally

Worldwide coronavirus cases crossed 40 million on Monday, according to a Reuters tally, as the onset of winter in the northern hemisphere fuelled a resurgence in the spread of the disease. The Reuters tally is based on official reporting by individual countries. Experts believe the true numbers of both cases and deaths are likely much higher, given deficiencies in testing and potential under-reporting by some countries. The Reuters data shows the pace of the pandemic continues to pick up. It took just 32 days to go from 30 million global cases to 40 million, compared with the 38 days it took to get from 20 to 30 million, the 44 days between 10 and 20 million, and the three months it took to reach 10 million cases from when the first cases were reported in Wuhan, China, in early January. Record one-day increases in new infections were seen at the end of last week, with global coronavirus cases rising above 400,000 for the first time. There were an average of around 347,000 c...
