Medical researchers have predicted a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic will soon hit the UK resulting in another full national lockdown in the United Kingdom unless tougher steps are taken over the past week in the midst of a growing number of infections in the country. They believe that the country is moving right towards the second wave of COVID-19 in the UK. The main problem in the country is the recklessness of people and the huge amount of crowd partying despite the social distancing. Police are trying as hard as they can to put a stop on the series of illegal; parties held overnight throughout the different parts of the country. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a fine of 100 pounds for gatherings of more than six people upto 3200 pounds for repeated offenses.
Greater Manchester Police said that unlawful meetings in the city had been stopped and fixed penalty notices were issued for each of the events that violated established bans on more than 30 meeting groups. The Nottingham-shire Police said it threatened a “careless” teenager with a fine of 10,000 pounds for hosting a house party that saw more than 50 guests assemble in violation of current regulations. As a result of other localized lockout measures, almost 8 million individuals in the West Midlands and Scotland will be subjected to even stricter isolation measures. Households in Birmingham, Sandwell, and Solihull will be banned from mixing after a rise in coronavirus cases has been identified in the area. Lancashire joins regions around Glasgow in Scotland which are subject to stricter regulations, with the latest rules already in place.
