Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said if the system worked it would be used"on quite a micro level".
Earlier this month Mr Jenrick said that it was the government's"strong preference" for lockdown measures to be lifted uniformly, but some restrictions could be reintroduced locally if necessary. Also speaking during Tuesday's briefing, Prof John Newton, leader of the government's Covid-19 testing programme, said"many different organisations", including councils and local businesses, will be involved in the response to local outbreaks.
Latest government figures show the number of people to die with coronavirus in the UK rose by 134 to 37,048 on Tuesday.
Scum media
Jackson_Carlaw is going to be apoplectic when he sees this, if England can have local or regional lockdowns, then Scotland enforcing lockdown across the border is inevitable.
Yes and to keep local communities indoors so we can get in and finish laying 5G 🤫
What a waste of time the last weeks have been. Because of dear Dom the public will now not be willing to adhere to lockdowns that aren’t able to be enforced. In afew weeks we will be back where we started. Forcing herd immunity and higher death rates
Haha best of luck with that
Given PM BorisJohnson 's sacrifice of authority to his Svengali & CRG, no-deal retreads blocking his Huawei5g deal, Govt has no means to enforce local lockdowns that may prove less welcome than Internment in Derry City. Boris is the new Ted Heath lols.
I would think that would be very difficult to enforce.
Lets hope that the MPs and aides also follow this if they have to!
What will happen to people like Dominic Cummings who transport the virus up and down the country despite rules? borisjohnson
Lockdown the media so we can have some truth
This just simply won’t work. More deluded ideas. So if I can’t get to work because my train depot is in an area of lockdown, it could mean train services are cancelled 100+ miles away because we can’t drive them.
Sorry but it seems like one of the aides to the Pm has blown that up! Think of another and a way to convince the public that aides and MPs will also face consequences if they break lockdown regulations.
I generally support this government. I'm not a basher. But I reserve the right to disagree, and I strongly disagree with the concept of localized lockdown. You're punishing healthy people just because 1 neighbour on the street caught covid. I don't even have contact with them!
HANCOCK PINOCCHIO!!!!!
Presumably though if we say the magic words (childcare worries) we can exit the local lockdown because we will be showing integrity and parental responsibility.
Put a fence round us and throw some food in, why don't you BorisJohnson DominicCumins
Once track and trace is in place says Nick Gibb MP so not yet then even though the R number on the briefing the other night said 0.7-1.0? borislies
He might want to let his moronic buddies in on the not-so-secret policy. Where is this so-called British common sense?
25000 people for 10000 cases .... what happens if there are 11000 cases?
Yeah local lockdowns they are really going to work MattHancock following the ridiculously behaviour over the weekend, people will look at that and as u and cabinet colleagues have done simply stick two fingers up to the idea
Won't work now will it what will they do ring fence them in. . Dom's proven you can do as you please with the right reason.
MattHancock This is obviously another rule that Dom Corleone Cummings can interpret in any way he deems fit then?
Correction: late local lockdowns will be used to fail to quash a second wave too late. Oh, and we’ll abandon essential contact tracing before we begin it because we won’t have enough local tracing teams.
After telling people to go back to work are they seriously going to order them back home buyer only in a specific area. It’s not going to work.
Will this apply to the China cups or just the mugs?
Not a good idea it will cause resentment and people will ignore it
Won’t work, how thick is govt thinking it will. Has to be all or none. Then make it law so no misinterpretation.
Government padding the buck again 🤬🤬 so they won’t get blamed
By that standard Cheshire with have a wall built around it and then they will drown in their own garden rubbish 😂😂😂
I'll be watching Cummings and goings very carefully then.
Good
Whatever happened to much promised Track & Trace app ? Failed government again
You guys have f&£cked it, taking common sense for the virus aside, how the hell are people going to stick to the rules and advice any longer when the gov does what the hell they like and justify it.
Victoria Derbyshire, bbc this morning , still debating Cummings , whatever this woman debates always has a cynical tone to it , bbc license holder over 50 years , not any more
as he thought this through, is there a plan of action or is it just more spiel from the pen of cummings. can we trust them anymore, have we ever trusted them?
Will you post maps so that I can drive around the country staying in the safest places (NOT Barnard Castle or anywhere I may bump into the Cnut
Aww they still think they can make rules that people will respect. Bless.
Perhaps they can have local lock downs around the homes and family of Conservative party members and advisors?.
We are introducing local lockdown so Tory ministers can move around as they choose whilst the rest of you are in lockdown.....oh that's what we have now LancsPolice Conservatives DrAseemMalhotra MattHancock
The more they lock us down the more people die. Sweden not lockdown down less people die. Fact. .
Do we use the official definition of 'reasonable' or the Tory Party definition in order to determine how/if we comply
Think of every futuristic dystopian film. The chances are that it includes ‘zones’ for different people. Where you live/work may depend on money, age, skin colour, your sex. People are tracked. Restrictions imposed.
This will never work, not now the policing of such rules has been undermined. We have anachery in the nation.
Especially in Islington twinned with Durham
So where is the track and trace app the govt paid Cummings sisters company to produce?
Whatever. Just take the ‘instinct’ clause.
The dead don't have a choice only the living If you're serious about your well-being, there's a remedy for the sick ones God Healing Oil, A Healing balm for coronavirus and other deadly diseases Truth is rare, believe it when you see it Kindly Dm if you are ready for the cure
And, he complains about Scotland not following England. Twat.
Your rules have been compromised by your own...
Nobody but nobody is going observe local lockdowns. You cannot police a community, enforce rules, fine and jail people when other communities are free to do as they please. People will simply follow the Cummings example and ignore local lockdowns.
Will not work, and unenforceable!
Who on Earth will follow this? People will just go to another region. Christ I have never seen such an idiotic and incompetent government in my life.
There's an old comment about ever changing designs; usually planned to create confusion and ensure that follow-up agencies get created out of necessity: (2FC)/2 = Too Flaming Clever by Half 😱😳
Boris and his band of merry imbeciles has failed the people of this country over and over again during the time we needed them most. We needed clear instructions and sure-footed leadership. What we got was confused instructions, a vacant PM and a massive number of deaths.
All I can think about when I watch them talk is ”Do as I say and not as I do” get them out of there and put NHS staff there for us to trust in what they say 😁
Can we lockdown the ScumMedia asking for a friend
Lock downs are over thanks to Dominic Cummings and Boris
“Local” lockdowns... as in “lock downs for the unimportant people”
Just use our judgement to drive into an area without lockdown, for the sake of our children.
Well that'll be CarCrashCummings buggered then!
Does this include Downing Street?
Does anyone believe these clowns?
Get dom gone
Yeah, good luck with that one.
And thats going to work how? ''Due to a flare up in Covid 19 your estate is in lockdown'' Excluding swearing.... ''Jolly dee old bean....but as you've failed to eradicate crime on our estate and your numbers have been decimated by this wonderous Conservatives govt..........''
Good luck with that. Think it through. Small towns around the North East - around Durham - go into lockdown while cities like London where Cummings lives on full release from lockdown.
You mean to manage civil unrest and obedience? Lockdowns should never be a regular option look how much damage they do to everyone! Nothing more than martial law this! Anyone who cannot see this, is an idiot
They do it in the Philippines, from the start. One person out to shop. If your area is lockdown assist from 1 person you not even allowed out to excercise. Lockdown released after all been tested
Will these apply to Cummings MattHancock 10DowningStreet BorisJohnson if applied in London?
I'd like to see a few 'lockdowns' in Westminster :-)
This lock down Just make us realise Tory and labour are 2 heads of the same snake
Lockdown has ended you can't police shit anymore because of the incompetence of the government and their politicians thanks to dominiccummings the rules no longer apply as we are all now taking the cummingsorgoings approach
How exactly will a local lockdown help? people will have travelled outwith the local area by the time cases start to show up.
And will the people in local lockdowns still receive furlough payments?
So how are we going to know the lockdowns day by day week by week what if we are caught away from home do we stay there or break the lockdown and drive home and will we be fined
Why? So the plebs sit at home while you and your privileged mates can go an and about.
Can justify not abiding by the rules as I am preempting that I may get coronavirus and I've got shit to do.
The BBC were actively inciting people to break lock down this morning, this organisation should be the bastion of the truth but is now sinking into the gutter with the rest of the media.
Except in Durham...
Change the record......move on. Loads of people have pushed the boundary’s. And please stop reporting everything in that pathetic dower voice, the report on going back to school sounded like reporting a death.
I feel for the police now they've got no chance of policing this
They can organise it, communicate it, 'land' it, attempt to deliver it, tell everyone what a great success it will be, do whatever the fuck they want with it and the English public shoul, and will, completely ignore and not give two fucks about it, as that is what Cummings did.
Including Ministers and advisors?
This virus has gone to your head now
I proposed this weeks ago! Hancock catch up. But it requires blanket testing of area population, isolation of positives, retesting til area 'clean'. Then spread to adjacent areas until 'region' clean. Be prepared to isolate 'dirty' regions where R1 and restrict movement.
The PM's made it clear personal instincts outweigh public health guidelines. This is meaningless.
Am thinking this is just one big mess
It’s like stamping on a bush fire two weeks after it’s started blazing 🥺😩🙄
In connection with test, track and trace. How’s that going Conservatives ?
Sorry, I can no longer reasonably comply. For Track and Trace everyone should put 1 name on the list... DC. Then the message of broken trust may be received. COVID__19 notmyresponsibility nototrackandtrace
So are we all going to have eye tests now to check for covid
How will that work with people moving around the country and what about flights coming in? Who will be monitoring their movements?
Advisors are their for advice use them, do what you want is the new message
What’s the safest route for an eye test, without stopping, Route A or B?
The rank hypocrisy and arrogance of talking about OUR 'civic duty' whilst condoning Cummings's irresponsible and selfish behaviour is breath-taking. A shameless government which believes itself privileged and unaccountable. Maybe it's Boris who should resign?
The lockdown is over yippee thanks dom
Had the government shown they could act intelligently and decisively so far, I'd be more inclined to believe this strategy will work
You had little credibility before cumgate but now you've destroyed public confidence in the lockdown. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 what a fine job you Muppets are doing.
