Boris Johnson Reimposes Some Coronavirus Restrictions

 Jake Mersch

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the United Kingdom would see certain restrictions from the March shutdown reimposed in the coming weeks. He stressed that simple items to slow and stop the spread would be the foundation of these restrictions. The first restriction is a brand new mandate for masks to be worn in all taxis and public transit. Earlier this year, wearing a mask inside a taxi was at the discreation of the driver while public transportaion's mask mandate has never been lifted. Second, bars and restaurants will be required to close at speficied times which are to be announced in the coming days. Lastly, stores will see additional social distancing guidlines and restrictions imposed with the nationewide mask mandate leading the charge in that area as well. Johnson noted this restrictions are not leaning towards a comple shutdown similair to March, however, he warned that could become reality once again if these restrictio s and gulidlines are not followed.
