Public health directors in various hotspots said: “There is no local lockdown”

After being accused of the government “stealth” introducing new Covid-19 restrictions, someone told residents of India’s eight hotspots that there was “no local blockade.”

Some guidance was added to the government website last Friday, urging people in high-tension areas to limit their social activities and travel, but local leaders said they have not yet realized this.

In a joint statement on Tuesday, the public health directors of Burnley, Bedford, Blackburn and Darwin, Bolton, Cocles, Leicester, Hounslow and North Tyneside effectively stated, The suggestion can be ignored, and it has been confirmed that there are no restrictions on travel. And beyond the area.

The statement said: “Across the country, we have met with officials from various countries with the recently revised guidelines and confirmed that there are no restrictions on travel into or out of each of our regions: there is no local confinement. In the new Covid variant, we are all spreading. Work together to facilitate testing and vaccination and support self-isolation.

“Throughout the pandemic, people can take wise public health precautions to comply with recommendations that all of us follow. We will continue to share this and work with officials from various countries to ensure that people understand the issues they need to consider. They live their daily lives.”
