Millions of Britons have defied government advice about social distancing to congregate on beaches and in parks, ignoring stark warnings that the pandemic devastating Italy and Spain could cross the English Channel.
LONDON — In recent days millions of Britons have defied government advice about practicing social distancing to congregate on beaches and in parks, ignoring stark warnings that the pandemic devastating Italy and Spain won’t stop at the English Channel without strong measures.
The U.K. has so far reported 8,077 confirmed cases of the virus, including Prince Charles, who is next in line for the throne, and 422 people have died. Italy still has the most deaths of any nation in the world with 6,820. NHS Dr. Amir Khan told Yahoo News it is “disheartening and disappointing” to see people still gathering in groups and said mixed messages from the government could be to blame.
The U.K. was slow to impose a nationwide lockdown, which Johnson announced on Monday, forcing the closure of nonessential shops and businesses. But since the stricter measures were introduced, pictures on social media of crowded tube trains and construction workers still gathering across the capital emerged, raising questions over how the government would enforce the new rules.
Meanwhile some in Italy watched in horror the British public ignoring public-health measures — as Italians themselves did, until a nationwide lockdown was put in place three weeks ago. “I’m quite concerned about the fact about the way other countries and especially the U.K. are managing and facing this situation,” Zanotti added.
