Earlier in September, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new quarantine rules that will be in effect for the next six months. He urged all those who can work from home to stop going to offices. In addition, in public places it is now always necessary to wear masks; for non-compliance with this rule, the fine has been increased to 200 pounds sterling (about 20 thousand rubles). Separate measures are designed to limit the number of people at weddings to 15 people. In this case, if the police fail to control the measures, the authorities will be able to resort to the help of the army. On September 18, Johnson admitted that a second wave of coronavirus infection is starting in the country.
