英国首相确认将于12月2日有条件地结束全国封锁

英国政府在11月初推出了第二次封锁，以遏制第二波感染。第二次锁国后，休闲和酒店场所以及大部分商店都已关闭。

本周一，英国首相鲍里斯-约翰逊（Boris Johnson）宣布，英国的全国封锁将于12月2日解除，但是是有条件的。这次解除封国将恢复分层限制制度，但强调分层限制将比第二次封锁前更严格。他将于周四宣布哪些地区将归入哪些层级。

当限制解除后，商店、健身房和理发店将被允许再次开放，户外运动也可以恢复。

此次英国解除全国封锁也是因为该国的新感染人数趋于稳定和减少，而且鉴于经济受损，英国政府面临压力，要求尽快让企业恢复如常。根据初步公布的数据，英国第三季度经济增长了15.5%。

英国已经记录了超过150万例冠状病毒病例，使其成为欧洲记录在案的第三高感染病例，仅次于法国和西班牙。它已经报告了55120例与冠状病毒相关的死亡病例。

然而，有迹象表明，该国的新感染人数已经开始稳定下来。政府数据显示，截至上周五，最新的R数（感染者可望将病毒传染给的人数）估计已降至1至1.1之间，每日感染增长率范围为0%至+2%。

周日，英国报告了18662例新病例，在之前的七天里，有142747例确诊病例。但这比11月9日至15日七天内报告的病例少了近20%。

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed on Monday that a nationwide lockdown in England will be lifted next week, but the easing will come with conditions.

Johnson told Parliament that the country’s coronavirus lockdown will end on Dec. 2, almost a month after this second lockdown was imposed. He announced that England will return to a three-tiered system of restrictions, with differing degrees of rules imposed on areas of the country depending on their number of coronavirus infections. However he stressed that the tiers will be stricter than before the second lockdown. Johnson said he hoped to announce which areas will come under which tiers on Thursday.

Shops, gyms and hairdressers will be allowed to reopen when the restrictions are lifted, and outdoor sports can resume.

The U.K. has recorded over 1.5 million coronavirus cases, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, giving it the third-highest number of recorded infections in Europe, after France and Spain. It has reported 55,120 coronavirus-related deaths.

There are signs that the number of new infections have started to stabilize in the country, however. The latest R number (the number of people that an infected person could be expected to pass along the virus) is estimated to have fallen to between 1 to 1.1, with a daily infection growth rate range of 0% to +2% as of Friday, government data shows.

On Sunday, 18,662 new cases were reported in the U.K. and over the previous seven days, there were 142,747 confirmed cases. But that was almost 20% fewer cases than had been reported in the seven-day period Nov. 9-15.

The British government is under pressure to get business back to as normal sooner rather than later, given the damage to the economy. The U.K. economy grew by 15.5% in the third quarter, according to preliminary figures published earlier in November, after a 19.8% plunge in the previous quarter following the first national lockdown. The country’s second lockdown is likely to hit growth for the final three months of the year.  source

目测 今年12月31日前，英欧在脱欧后的协议谈判失败。英国最晚，再再再再再再次，拖延到2021年1月份，将正式的无协议脱欧。

估计2021年6-9月份之前，约翰逊就会下台。约翰逊，已经为自己下台找好了借口：工资太低！
