By Aditi Khanna London, Apr 7 () UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is deputising for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson while he is in intensive care with coronavirus, said the UK PM is a fighter who will pull through the illness and be back in charge soon.During the daily Downing Street briefing on Tuesday evening, the senior Cabinet minister confirmed that Johnson, 55, remains stable in ICU at St Thomas' Hospital in London and has not required the help of a ventilator for his breathing."I'm confident that he'll pull through because if there's one thing I know, he's a fighter. He'll be back at the helm leading us through this crisis in short order," said Raab.Striking a personal note, he said: "He's not just our boss, he's also our colleague and our friend. All of our thoughts with the Prime Minister and his family."Raab, who is also the First Secretary of State, said the Cabinet has "very clear instructions" from the Prime Minister while he remains in hospital and his whole team will be working on implementing those instructions in the government's fight against the pandemic.He added: "Decision making by government is made by collective Cabinet responsibilities, so that is the same as before."But we've got very clear directions, very clear instructions from the Prime Minister, and we're focused with total unity and total resolve on implementing them so that when he's back, I hope in very short order, we will have made the progress that he would expect and that the country would expect."Raab reiterated a Downing Street statement earlier on Tuesday about Johnson receiving "standard oxygen treatment" and breathing without any assistance, such as mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support."He remains in good spirits and in keeping with usual clinical practise his progress continues to be monitored closely in critical care," Raab said.He added: "This is a shock to all of us. And following Cabinet discussions today, I can reassure the Prime Minister and we can reassure the public that his team will not blink or flinch in the task ahead at this crucial moment."We will keep all of our focus and all of our resolve, with calm determination, on delivering the government's plan to defeat the coronavirus."The minister also gave an update on the daily figures related to COVID-19 in the UK, which shows the death toll rising to 6,159 after a record increase of 786 in a single day. He urged the public to continue to follow the strict social distancing rules in place because the worst thing the country could do was "take its foot off the peddle" at this stage.Sir Patrick Vallance, the government's Chief Scientific Adviser, said the number of new cases "could be moving in the right direction" but it would not be clear "for a week or so"."There is a fairly steady increase in numbers. It's possible that we're beginning to see the beginning of change in terms of the curve flattening a little bit. We won't know that for sure for a week or so," he said. AK SCYSCY

Boris Johnson is a fighter, says minister deputising for UK PM

By Aditi Khanna London, Apr 6 () The UK government on Monday said Prime Minister Boris Johnson is "doing well" after staying overnight in hospital for some "routine tests" related to his COVID-19 diagnosis.UK housing and communities secretary Robert Jenrick said Johnson remains in charge of the UK's response to the coronavirus pandemic and is expected back at No.10 Downing Street soon."This wasn't an emergency admission. It was a planned admission to undergo some routine tests. He is doing well, I am told, and we look forward to him being back at No. 10 soon," the Cabinet minister told the BBC on Monday morning.The update on the 55-year-old prime minister's health came following his admission to a National Health Service (NHS) hospital in London on Sunday evening for tests after he showed "persistent symptoms of coronavirus", including a temperature, even 10 days after testing positive for the disease.His hospitalisation was described as a "precautionary step" taken on the advice of his doctor, a Downing Street spokesperson said on Sunday."This is a precautionary step, as the Prime Minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus ten days after testing positive for the virus," the spokesperson said. "The Prime Minister thanks NHS staff for all of their incredible hard work and urges the public to continue to follow the government's advice to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives," the spokesperson said.Downing Street said that it was considered sensible for doctors to see the UK prime minister in person given he has ongoing symptoms but he remains in charge of the government and in contact with ministerial colleagues and officials.UK foreign secretary Dominic Raab, the First Secretary of State, is the UK PM's chosen second-in-command and stepped in to chair the daily coronavirus response meeting, dubbed the COVID-19 war cabinet, on Monday morning.Johnson has until last Friday continued to chair the daily meetings remotely via video conference from his self-isolation in his private quarters in Downing Street since his diagnosis 10 days ago. The British prime minister was last seen, still looking quite poorly, when he made a brief appearance at Downing Street on Thursday night to join the national "clap for carers" applause in appreciation of the hardwork of National Health Service (NHS) workers on the frontline of the fight against the outbreak."Remember that incredible clapping again last night for our fantastic NHS. We're doing it to protect them and to save lives. Let's focus on doing everything we can. Stay at home folks, protect our NHS, save lives," he said. Johnson posted his last Twitter video message on Friday in which he said he was still displaying minor symptoms. He had extended self-isolation on Friday, which should have marked the end of the stipulated seven-day self-isolation period after his COVID-19 diagnosis last week.He said he still has a temperature, one of the symptoms associated with coronavirus, and would therefore have to stay in isolation for longer."Although I'm feeling better and I've done my seven days of isolation, alas I still have one of the symptoms, a minor symptom. I still have a temperature. So in accordance with government advice I must continue my self-isolation until that symptom itself goes. But we're working clearly the whole time on our programme to beat the virus," he said in the video message.The UK has reported over 48,000 cases of COVID-19. On Sunday, the Department of Health said 621 more people died in hospitals in the UK over 24 hours after testing positive for coronavirus, taking the total death toll to 4,934 in the country.US President Donald Trump began a White House press briefing by sending "our nation's well wishes" for Mr Johnson's "own personal fight with the virus"."All Americans are praying for him. He's a great friend of mine, a great gentleman and a great leader," Trump said, adding that he was sure the prime minister would be fine because he is "a strong person".Newly-elected Labour Party leader Keir Starmer also wished Johnson well, saying he hoped for a "speedy recovery". Over the weekend, Johnson's pregnant fiancee Carrie Symonds had revealed her own coronavirus symptoms as she said that she was "on the mend" and feeling stronger."I haven't needed to be tested and, after seven days of rest, I feel stronger and I'm on the mend," said the 32-year-old, who has been self-isolating separately at her south London flat.UK health secretary Matt Hancock had also tested positive for coronavirus and returned from self-isolation after seven days last Thursday to host the daily Downing Street press briefing.The UK government's chief medical adviser, Professor Chris Whitty, has also had to self-isolate after showing symptoms, as has Johnson's top aide Dominic Cummings.

Some 62 per cent of people said they wanted to see a general election be held in 2022, once Rishi Sunak had taken office as Prime Minister, polling company Ipsos has found. At the beginning of August, 51 per cent of people told Ipsos they would back a general election. The latest figures came from a survey of 1,000 adults between October 20 and 21. Sunak, who is expected to go to Buckingham Palace to meet King <keyword id="5197699" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="charles-iii" source="Orion">Charles III</keyword>, ruled out an election quickly after he was announced as the new Conservative leader. "Certainly, he said that there will be no early general election," Simon Hoare, a senior MP who supported Sunak, told reporters. In the UK, the next general election due to take place under the law is January 2025, but the Prime Minister has the power to decide a date any time before then. The proportion of calls by the UK public calling for a general election has increased since <keyword id="2420812" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="liz-truss" source="Orion">Liz Truss</keyword> announced her resignation on October 20, the Evening Standard reported. Also, opposition parties have ratcheted-up their election calls, claiming Truss's successor has "no mandate". Boris Johnson loyalist Nadine Dorries said it will be "impossible" to avoid a general election in the weeks ahead, as Rishi Sunak was named as Prime Minister-in-waiting. "I think everybody who I've spoken to, the public, have said we should be having a general election," Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner told local media. Another Ipsos poll, taken between October 19 and 20, said that Sunak will begin his premiership trailing opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer. It found that 36 per cent of people thought Sunak would make a good prime minister -- a higher total than any other Conservative but slightly behind Sir Keir's total of 46 per cent. Sunak will make a bad Prime Minister with 32 per cent of the people saying that about him while 28 per cent think Sir Keir would do a bad job. "In choosing Rishi Sunak as the next prime minister, the <keyword id="107792" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="conservative-party" source="Orion">Conservative Party</keyword> have picked a contender with the widest appeal, but the public are still uncertain whether he will do a good job in office," Keiran Pedley, director of political research at Ipsos, said. Around 54 per cent of Conservative voters thought Sunak would do a good job as Prime Minister, compared to 52 per cent who thought Johnson would do a good job if he was brought back, the Ipsos poll said.

UK PM Boris Johnson admitted to hospital for COVID-19 tests

By Aditi Khanna(Eds: Updating with fresh inputs) London, Apr 27 () British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday will resume charge of the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic, a month after being diagnosed with the deadly disease that has claimed 20,732 lives in the UK. Johnson, 55, had been recuperating from his intensive care treatment at a London hospital earlier this month after he contracted the deadly virus. He returned to 10 Downing Street on Sunday evening from his prime ministerial countryside retreat at Chequers, where he had been based since his discharge from St Thomas' Hospital on April 12."It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS [National Health Service] for saving my life," he said, in his message to the medical team on leaving the hospital.UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who has been deputising for the UK prime minister as the First Secretary of State during the leave of absence, described his boss' return as a "boost for the government and a boost for the country"."He's raring to go," Raab said.Johnson resumes work amid growing pressure from within his own Conservative Party backbenchers as well the Opposition parties to set out a clear exit strategy to begin lifting the strict lockdown measures in place to curb the spread of the coronavirus."If there is a question over whether something is necessary or not, I think we should err on the side of openness and trying to make sure that more people can get on with their lives and more people can get on with getting back to their jobs," said Sir Graham Brady, the chair of the Tory party's influential backbench 1922 Committee.Opposition Labour Party's shadow cabinet minister Rachel Reeves said the UK should "potentially" be following the example of other European countries like Belgium, Germany and Denmark, which have already signalled partial re-opening of some businesses and schools."We want to work with the government in bringing forward a plan and getting it right," she said.Officials are reported to be working on a Singapore-style plan for passengers arriving at the UK sea and airports to be quarantined for 14 days as part of the second phase of the measures, which must be reviewed by law on May 7.However, UK Environment Minister George Eustice seemed to dismiss the idea at the daily Downing Street briefing on Sunday."As we move to a new phase at some point in the future – we are not there yet – international travel could become a more significant part of the risk to manage," he said."At the moment, all of the evidence suggests it is only a tiny proportion of the cause of the coronavirus outbreak – if we got to that point, a number of measures would be considered but no decisions have been taken in this phase yet," he added.Johnson has meanwhile kept in contact with his ministers and officials and held his weekly audience by telephone with Queen Elizabeth II last week, indicating his readiness for full-time duties. He held a long meeting with Raab and UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak on Friday ahead of his formal return, during which the senior team is believed to have thrashed out aspects of the next phase in the government's Covid-19 strategy.The strict social distancing norms in place in the UK were imposed in a televised address by Johnson on March 23 and they require people to stay at home, shutting most businesses and preventing gatherings of more than two people. The lockdown is intended to protect the state-funded NHS from being overwhelmed by the number of hospitalisations, a figure which has shown a downwards trajectory in recent days.However, scientific experts have warned that it is too soon to consider lifting all the measures due to fears of a "second wave" of infections.

UK PM Boris Johnson back in charge of Covid-19 response

(Eds: Adds more reax) London, Apr 7 () Several international leaders including US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have wished British Prime Minister Boris Johnson a quick recovery after he was admitted to an intensive care unit of a London hospital as his coronavirus symptoms worsened.Johnson, 55, was tested positive for coronavirus more than 10 days ago and was admitted to the hospital a day earlier, which Downing Street said was done as part of a precautionary measure.The Conservative party leader spent Monday night in the intensive care unit (ICU) at St. Thomas' hospital, in a move his office said was a "precaution" should the British Prime Minister require ventilation to aid his recovery from COVID-19.Prime Minister Modi hoped that his British counterpart finds himself in perfect health soon."Hang in there, Prime Minister @BorisJohnson! Hope to see you out of hospital and in perfect health very soon," the prime minister wrote on Twitter.President Trump has asked leading US companies working on COVID-19 drugs to "contact immediately" UK Prime Minister Johnson's doctors and offer "help" to his "good friend"."We are very saddened to hear that he (Johnson) was taken into intensive care this afternoon a little while ago, and Americans are all praying for his recovery," Trump told reporters during his daily press conference at the White House on Monday.European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen wished Johnson "a speedy and full recovery"."My thoughts are with Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his family this evening," she said in a tweet.Michel Barnier, the European Union's Brexit negotiator who is recovering in quarantine after testing positive for coronavirus, wished Johnson a speedy recovery."Wishing Boris Johnson all the best and a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with you and your family," Barnier tweeted.French President Emmanuel Macron also took to Twitter to extend his support to Johnson saying: "I hope he will rapidly overcome this ordeal"."I send all my support to Boris Johnson, to his family and to the British people at this difficult moment. I wish him a speedy recovery at this testing time," he said in a tweet.Director-General of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus sent his and WHO's heartfelt good wishes to the British Prime Minister."I am thinking of my friend @BorisJohnson tonight, and sending my and @WHO's heartfelt good wishes as he battles the #coronavirus. I know the @NHSuk and its dedicated #healthworkers will be looking after you," he said.Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in a tweet, "My solidarity and wishes for a speedy recovery for Prime Minister Boris Johnson. These are difficult days for our countries, but it is through strength and unity that we can win this battle".Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said: "on behalf of the Dutch cabinet, I wish Boris Johnson, his family and the British people lots of strength during this difficult time."Italy's Foreign Minister Luigi di Maio said that "the Italian people is with the UK in these difficult times. We are one for each other. Get well soon Boris Johnson!"Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the President of Sri Lanka, said on Twitter: "My best wishes to PM Boris Johnson for a speedy recovery. Our prayers are with you and the people of the UK during these trying times".On Monday night, the British Prime Minister asked his First Secretary of State, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, to step in for him and the minister will be chairing his second daily COVID-19 meeting in place of him on Tuesday.His hospitalisation comes as the number of coronavirus hospital deaths in the UK reached 5,373 and the UK's Department of Health said there were now 51,608 confirmed coronavirus cases.

Global leaders wish UK PM Boris Johnson speedy recovery

By Aditi Khanna London, May 12 () British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned that a mass vaccine for the novel coronavirus may be over a year away and, in the worst-case scenario, may in fact never be found.In his foreword to the government's new 50-page guidance on a step by step easing of the lockdown measures in place to control the spread of the deadly virus, the UK prime minister lays out plans for businesses to gradually start reopening with "COVID-19 Secure" measures of social distancing and for the public to use "good solid British common sense" as the economy is unlocked."A mass vaccine or treatment may be more than a year away," said Johnson, highlighting the work being done in the UK by scientists at Oxford University and Imperial College London towards this mission."Indeed, in a worst-case scenario, we may never find a vaccine. So our plan must countenance a situation where we are in this, together, for the long haul, even while doing all we can to avoid that outcome," he said.Admitting that a vaccine or drug-based treatment is the only "feasible long-term solution", he said the UK has accelerated this with "promising" vaccine development programmes and a collaboration between Oxford University and pharma major AstraZeneca was a vital step that could help rapidly advance the manufacture of a Covid-19 vaccine when it is ready.As part of global efforts, he flagged the GBP 388 million in aid funding for research into vaccines, tests and treatment, including GBP 250m to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations."But while we hope for a breakthrough, hope is not a plan," he said, as he unveiled his plan for starting to lift lockdown restrictions from this week in phases.Following a televised address to the nation on Sunday night and a statement in Parliament on Monday, the guidance comes into effect in public life across England from Wednesday when people will be allowed one-to-one contact with people other than those they live with, as long as they remain outside and two metres apart. They are allowed to play sport with a friend or family member from outside their household or socialise with them in the open air for the first time in more than six weeks since the lockdown was imposed.People are still advised to work from home where possible but start heading into work where necessary, in sectors such as construction and manufacturing, keeping the social distancing norms in place.Under the step by step plan, by the start of next month non-essential shops will also reopen, with some hairdressers, pubs and cinemas to follow from July. However, as part of a Covid-19 Alert System, if infection rates are seen to be rising again, restrictions would be tightened "possibly at short notice".Fines for breaching the new rules will also be increased to GBP 100 and will double for each repeat offence, up to a maximum of GBP 3,200.Johnson said: "I must ask the country to be patient with a continued disruption to our normal way of life, but to be relentless in pursuing our mission to build the systems we need. The worst possible outcome would be a return to the virus being out of control – with the cost to human life, and – through the inevitable re-imposition of severe restrictions – the cost to the economy. We must stay alert, control the virus, and in doing so, save lives."Then, as vaccines and treatment become available, we will move to another new phase, where we will learn to live with Covid-19 for the longer term without it dominating our lives."The devolved administrations of Scotland and Wales are putting their own measures in place and keeping the "stay at home" message in place, rather than switch to the new "stay alert" message.The UK government's latest messaging has come under attack from the Opposition and other sections of society over a feared lack of clarity for the general public.

COVID-19 vaccine may never be found, warns UK PM

By Aditi Khanna London, Jun 10 () People living alone in England will be able to stay at one other household as part of a further easing of coronavirus restrictions, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday. He announced that, from Saturday, single adults can spend the night at another house in a so-called "support bubble", which means all members of the bubble must self isolate in case any one member develops symptoms of COVID-19. He said the change aims to help combat loneliness and allow for some further relaxation to the rules, which so far only allow for a gathering of up to six outdoors. "All those in a support bubble will be able to act as if they live in the same household, meaning they can spend time together inside each others' homes and do not need to stay two metres apart," Johnson explained. "I want to stress that support bubbles must be exclusive, meaning you can't switch the household you are in a bubble with or connect with multiple households. And if any member of the support bubble develops symptoms, all members of the bubble will need to follow the normal advice on household isolation," he said. One part of the bubble has to be a single household, or be a single parent to children aged under 18. It does not apply to grandparents who live together, people living in houses of multiple occupancy, such as flat shares, or to couples who already live together. Those who are "shielding" due to other underlying health conditions, are not advised to form a bubble. The move came as the UK government's chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, said the R number – the number of people an infected person passes the virus on to – remains below the required level of one. "The epidemic is shrinking, but not fast. Numbers are coming down but are not yet very low," he said. Further easing of lockdown measures, including opening up of non-essential shops, from next Monday as the UK's death toll from the deadly virus crossed 41,000. AK PMS PMS

The list is topped by the <keyword id="28125" type="DOMAIN" weightage="20" keywordseo="hinduja" botkeyword="" source="ET" sourcekeytype="COMPANY" meta.keywordsubtype="EQ" meta.aliasname="hinduja" meta.entityname="Nxtdigital Ltd." meta.entityid="5318" meta.seoname="nxtdigital-ltd">Hinduja</keyword> family for the eighth consecutive time with an estimated wealth of 30.5 billion pounds, an increase of 3 billion pounds from the last year. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan presented a copy of the 'Asian Rich List 2022' to Ritu Chhabria, daughter of Gopichand Hinduja, Co-Chairman of the <keyword id="120582" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="hinduja-group" source="Orion">Hinduja Group</keyword> at the 24th annual Asian Business Awards at the Westminster Park Plaza hotel on Wednesday night. Hinduja Group is an Indian transnational conglomerate. The group is present in eleven sectors. Addressing the gathering, Chief Guest Oliver <keyword id="14278602" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="dowden" source="Orion">Dowden</keyword>, MP, Chancellor of Dutchy of Lancaster, said: "every year, we see the British Asian Community continue to grow in stature which comes as no surprise to me personally." "Throughout my life, I have seen first-hand the hard work, determination and entrepreneurship of the British Asian community. And, of course, in my latest job, I have a British Asian Boss, my very good friend Mr Rishi Sunak, the United Kingdom's first-ever British Asian Prime Minister," Dowden said. Sunak made an impressive comeback to become the UK's first Indian-origin Prime Minister on October 25, seven weeks after he had lost the race for 10 Downing Street to Liz Truss. The 42-year-old investment banker-turned-politician is the youngest British Prime Minister in 210 years and also the UK's first Hindu Prime Minister. "I want to say thank you. The British Asian business community is widely recognised as one of the most successful entrepreneurial groups ever. It is a remarkable story of building businesses creating jobs and amassing wealth. And as outlined in this year's Asian Rich List, Asian entrepreneurs have enriched Britain in all aspects of our national life," Dowden said. This year's Asian Rich list boasts 16 billionaires from the UK, one more than the last year with most of the billionaires seeing their wealth increase or stay the same as last year. Sri <keyword id="1834928" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="prakash-lohia" source="Orion">Prakash Lohia</keyword> and his family have seen the biggest increase in wealth on this year's list, a rise of 4 billion pounds to 8.8 billion pounds. Lakshmi Mittal and his son Aditya (12.8 billion pounds) and Prakash Lohia and family (8.8 billion pounds) and Nirmal Sethia (6.5 billion pounds) are other richest on the list. Shailesh R Solanki, the Executive Editor of Asian Marketing Group (AMG) and the host of the event, said: "The Asian Rich list is carefully compiled by a team of experts and it is the definitive guide to Asian wealth in Britain."

Braverman -- an outspoken critic of former PM Liz Truss's economic policy -- stepped down last week after breaching email security rules. In her resignation letter, she also raised concerns about the direction of Truss's government. "Appointing Suella Braverman as Home secretary just days after she was sacked for a security breach doesn't smack of integrity, competence, professionalism or sensible politics. It's just cynical manoeuvring. This PM's no better than the last two," tweeted Labour MP <keyword id="132711" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="chris-bryant" source="Orion">Chris Bryant</keyword>. The London-born daughter of a Goan-origin father and Tamil-origin mother, Braverman had come out in support of Sunak saying he is the "only candidate that fits the bill and I am proud to support him". Braverman's appointment came hours after Sunak said he wanted to lead the Conservative party with "integrity, professionalism and accountability". Labour MP <keyword id="305873" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="yvette-cooper" source="Orion">Yvette Cooper</keyword> lashed out at Sunak saying, "our national security and public safety are too important for this kind of chaos". "He said he wants his Government to have 'integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level' yet he has just appointed Suella Braverman to be Home Secretary again a week after she resigned for breaches of the Ministerial Code, security lapses, sending sensitive Government information through unauthorised personal channels, and following weeks of non-stop public disagreements with other Cabinet Ministers," Yvette Cooper, shadow home secretary, was reported as saying in The Sun. According to The Guardian, the move is widely seen as a "payback" for her endorsement of Sunak when <keyword id="11011" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="johnson" source="Orion">Johnson</keyword> threatened a comeback during the leadership race. According to local media reports, questions were also raised about her stance on migration control, which has drawn sharp reactions from those even within her own party. Supporting the UK's exit from the European Convention on Human Rights, Braverman says that it is the only way for her country to solve immigration problems. "I would love to be having a front page of The Telegraph with a plane taking off to Rwanda... That's my dream. That's my obsession," she said at a fringe event at a Conservative party conference earlier in October. Back in India, the country of her parents' origin, the news of Braverman's reappointment has doused the initial euphoria over Sunak's rise as UK PM with his recent move drawing sharp reactions from the Indian Twitterati. Braverman nearly scuppered the India-UK Free Trade Agreement by saying that she feared the deal would increase migration to the UK, when Indians already represented the largest group of visa overstayers. She blamed uncontrolled migration into the UK and the newcomers' failure to integrate for the riots in Leicester.

Row over Braverman's reappointment as UK Home Secy

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned against relaxing efforts to fight the <keyword id="8829783" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="coronavirus-pandemic">coronavirus pandemic</keyword> amid looming hopes of a vaccine against the fast-spreading disease. "We cannot rely on the news about a vaccine as a solution" in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, Xinhua news agency quoted Johnson as saying at a virtual press briefing in <keyword id="50550" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Downing-Street">Downing Street</keyword> on Monday. "It would be a mistake to slacken our resolve in fighting the virus," the Prime Minister said. Mass testing can be a substitute to the restrictions, he said, adding that it was now more important than ever that people follow the lockdown rules. "Hands, face, space. Follow the rules -- that's how we can protect the NHS (National Health Service), save lives, and get the virus back in its box," he added. A vaccine candidate jointly developed by the German pharmaceutical company BioNTech SE and the US company Pfizer Inc. has proved to be more than 90 per cent effective in preventing Covid-19 infection in participants with no proven previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, the two companies announced on Monday. "We've cleared one significant hurdle but there are several more to go before we know the vaccine can be used," said Johnson. On November 5, England entered into a month-long national lockdown, the second of its kind since the onset of the pandemic in the country. Under the lockdown, people in England will only be allowed to leave their homes for specific reasons, such as education, work or food shopping. Pubs, bars and restaurants will close across the country except for takeaways. Non-essential shops, hairdressers and leisure and entertainment venues will also be shut. Unlike in the first lockdown, schools, colleges and universities will remain open and those who cannot work from home, such as construction or manufacturing workers, will be encouraged to continue going to their workplaces. As of Tuesday, the UK's overall coronavirus caseload and death toll stood at 1,216,747 and 49,329, respectively.
