From 14 October a three tier system of restrictions has been in place to try to minimise the spread of Covid-19 - previous post 13 October 2020. In September, Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) recommended that Ministers impose a circuit break lockdown lasting for two weeks - The BMJ 16 October. The government chose not to do this and opted for the 3 tier system in force from 14 October
In Wales
a severe "circuit break" lockdown was introduced for a period of 17 days - see Welsh Goverment. The reasoning behind the Welsh decision is explained at BBC Wales 21 October.Scotland has opted for a 5 tier system of restrictions and this will take effect from 2 November - - BBC News 23 October.
The regime in Northern Ireland is described in this article published by The Telegraph 23 October.
Saturday 31 October was a day of "leaks" to the media. That evening, the Prime Minister announced a further "lockdown" for England to be imposed from Thursday 5 November. (It appeared that this is subject to debate and a vote in the House of Commons). Mr Johnson also stated that schools and universities will remain open. This was despite the observable fact that Covid infection has escalated with the resumption of education in September 2020 - see The Guardian 2 November Keeping England's schools open will lead to another lockdown - "Education unions, backed by northern leaders, have warned that keeping schools and universities open in England is an inadequate “half-measure” which will sow the seeds for another lockdown next year and prolong the suffering from Covid."
According to the Prime Minister, the new lockdown will last for a month - to 2 December - and then the plan is to return to the 3 tier system.
Any new lockdown is likely to fail if key areas of Covid generation remain in operation. Schools appear to be such an area and will certainly present a considerable risk especially if the testing and tracing at those institutions is inadequate.
The impact on the economy of Lockdown 2 will be massive and, if extended, will continue into 2021 by which time the UK-EU transition period will have ended.
