Boris Johnson will lead the press convention on coronavirus today.
The prime minister will appear alive from Downing Street to face the public on the first day England enters a month-long coronavirus lock.
Johnson will be accompanied by NHS Director General Sir Simon Stevens for the briefing at five o’clock in the afternoon.
This is the time in the following week when the Prime Minister has addressed the country after pronouncing the new restrictions on Saturday night.
He also gave the impression to parliamentarians in the House of Commons twice this week, once to officially define employers’ closure plans and the second before the vote on the measures that were adopted on Wednesday night.
The NHS leader’s addition to the press convention comes after NHS England was upgraded to the highest emergency alert point.
It was announced that the fitness service is about to return to the level four alert state, according to the start of the national shutdown.
Sir Simon said the measure is a reaction to a “serious scenario looming” due to an increase in the number of coronavirus patients requiring comprehensive care.
They will most likely talk about the latest figures as well as the existing stress point in the NHS.

“Science is constant and, as a country, today we are in a much better position to fight this disease than in March and will be in a better position in the coming weeks and months.
“But until December 2, I must, oh, ask them to stay home again, the NHS and save lives. “
Sir Simon says the waiting list for NHS services, following the summer forecast that the waiting list may be only 10 million for operations during the winter, “will not be the case. “
He says the paintings the NHS has been able to make during the quieter months are “something to remember. “
The prime minister advocates the government’s use of knowledge for confinement in England.
“We try to make things as transparent as possible. “
He said that “projections vary considerably” and that a “political judgment” must also be made, taking into account the economic consequences.
“It’s very, very difficult to make the right decision,” he said.
He added that some of the facts were “irrefutable,” such as the death toll and other hospitalized people.
“I can’t dispute this knowledge, we have to act on that knowledge and collectively, that’s what we’re going to do,” he said.
Sir Simon is asked to what extent he believes the NHS will be relieved enough over the next four weeks for the blockade to be lifted on 2 December.
He responded by saying that the infections that already exist, last week and this week, will be hospitalized next week and the following week. He says they’re waiting and they’ll be waiting in three or four weeks that there won’t be any more significant accumulation of hospitalizations. .
He says they believe they may not be “conclusive” until December 2.
The prime minister asked if the restrictions could “really be lifted for Christmas” after photographs of other people outside the pre-lock.
He says he understands why other people are frustrated with the measures being implemented, but he also knows that the vast majority will make paintings in combination as they have done before.
“We can do it, we will do it until December 2nd and I have the confidence of each and every one of us, if we follow this package of measures as we can and as we have done before, I am convinced that other people will be able to achieve it. a general Christmas as imaginable and that we can also open things before Christmas».
Sir Simon says “all of us what’s at stake” and we’ll paint together.
The prime minister asked about his refusal to expand the licensing program last month at the request of leaders heading towards Level 3.
He says this has been the “generous” maxim any country has presented and been in sight and will continue until March.
A member of the public asks what other plans exist if a vaccine is available.
The prime minister mentions the drug remedies that have been a success before saying that the test regime is also crucial.
Come back refers to Liverpool’s “experience” in which there were a large number of people.
He says the credit is “you can tell if other people are contagious or not in real time, in 10 or 15 minutes. “
PM adds that this is the concern to expect a result as in the existing verification system.
It also says that “if you communicate with scientists,” they will understand that things will start to get better naturally in the spring for a variety of other reasons.
Sir Simon says that lately there are six vaccines underway, two of which are ”advanced”.
We move on to the questions.
One member of the public asked the Prime Minister why gymnasiums were closed and fundamental football was banned.
He says he’d love it, so it could happen like so many other things.
“It’s only 28 days. We want to complement this package of measures to R. “
He adds that if we paint together, he has no doubt that it will have a genuine effect and will allow other people to play football again.
“We want your in this,” Adds Sir Simon.
With the slogan “Protecting the NHS,” he says, “From the point of view of other people working at the NHS, it means “help us,” help us. “
He adds that coronavirus affects NHS staff like anyone else and that it’s been a “really stressful” time.
Referring to an extensive care physician, Sir Simon says, “Here and now we cannot prevent cancer from developing. In the here and now, we cannot prevent seizures and strokes.
“But we can decrease the spread of coronavirus on the network and that’s what we want to do to take care of everyone who wants it. “
2. 5 million more people won their flu shot this year at the same time last year.
He says it’s vital because if you have the flu and coronavirus at the same time, you’re twice as likely to die from a coronavirus.
Sir Simon adds that there are customers for a vaccine and that the NHS should be able to administer them as soon as they become available.
Hospitals have received more equipment and a
Sir Simon says we are not in this domain because it refers to other European countries such as Spain, Germany and France.
He adds: “This wave of Covid is genuine and very serious. “
Sir Simon said that in early September, fewer than 500 patients were hospitalized for coronavirus.
In October, that figure is 2,000, and now in November it exceeds 11,000.
He says it’s the equivalent of 22 of our hospitals in England complete with coronavirus patients.
“These are facts, projections,” adds Sir Simon.
“The explanation for why the action is that the infections that are occurring lately are a component of what will produce this build-up in hospitalizations. “
The 11,000 patients hospitalized for coronavirus are, compared to the 3,000 who would normally receive a bad flu season in the hospital each day and the 7,000 who would be hospitalized with cancer today.
Sir Simon tells his NHS colleagues what they would like to say to the public.
He says they said three things:
First, this wave of coronavirus “is genuine and serious. “
The second, the NHS worked “incredibly hard” to prepare and catch up on the attention that interrupted the first wave.
And third, his ability to continue to do this is what happens with the growth of the coronavirus.
The Prime Minister concludes his opening address: “Even if it hurts me to ask, once again, that so many other people give up so much, I know that in combination we can succeed over this.
“So please, over the next 4 weeks, stay home, the NHS and save lives. “
Now it’s the NHS director’s turn.
The prime minister announced another 15 million pounds to help councils provide housing to others who sleep on the streets or are in danger of becoming homeless.
He says it will help regions that want it to the fullest of restrictions and during winter.
According to him, the one he received, four weeks, was enough for these measures to have a “real impact. “
A multi-level technique will go back from December 2.
“There is a soft at the end of the tunnel,” adds PM. He says that larger and immediate solutions are being implemented on a giant scale.
He spoke of Liverpool and thanked them, as they have become the first driving force for massive control in the entire city since (Friday).
PM adds that there are also genuine “safe and effective” vaccines.
“In the meantime, this government will continue with those affected by these restrictions. “
PM says it can only leave space for express reasons starting today. Full regulations can be obtained on the government’s online page and in the NHS Covid-19 app, he said.
“I know how complicated it is,” he adds, referring to those at the NHS, for families, for businesses.
“I know many of you are anxious, suspicious and frankly fed up with this virus,” the Prime Minister said.
“But I need to assure you that this is a spring rehearsal. “
He explains that schools, schools, and universities remain open and that restrictions are “for a limited time. “
The average number of new instances is now 23,298, up from 9,000 the previous month.
There are 12,320 in the hospital, up from 2,602 the previous month.
There are 1,142 ventilated patients, up from 369 the previous month.
Yesterday, 492 deaths were recorded. The average accumulation of deaths is now 295 compared to 53 in the previous month.
“That’s why there are restrictions in all parts of the UK. “
The prime minister describes what the government has done to prepare the country for the winter era and put the coronavirus “in its box. “
He says British nations are combining a “common approach” to the Holiday era because they need families to come together “wherever they live. “
