Announcement of the new lockdown protocols

On Monday night, Johnson announced the new lockdown measures that everyone should follow. The infection rates have increased due to the new coronavirus variant. The country is facing its highest recorded levels of infected patients.

A month ago, the UK first detected the new COVID-19 strain. Besides that, other states like California and New York have also found cases caused by the new strain. The US and UK health experts noted that the new strain likely infects more easily than the other viruses.

They also noted that they did not find evidence that it is more deadly than the previous ones. According to "BBC News," scientists are studying whether the new variant could spread more easily in children or not.

The New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats advisory group (Nervtag) of the UK government explained how the variant could affect transmission rate. The group said that if the strain could spread more easily in children, it would make up for "a significant proportion" of the country's transfer.

No evidence whether the new strain is more deadly in children

The "BBC" said that there is no proof yet whether the new strain could greatly affect children's health. No one is sure yet whether Cave's son caught the new strain of the virus; however, she shared that she had a difficult start for 2021.

The "Harry Potter" series actress wrote that what had happened to her family at the start of the year was not what she had wanted. After her traumatic birth, she did not want to go back into the hospital too soon.
