London: Prime Minister Boris Johnson makes a statement outside 10 Downing Street, London, as he resumes working after spending two weeks recovering from Covid-19.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson pointed Friday to other countries around the world in which coronavirus outbreaks continue to grow as a warning of what can go wrong in a country’s recovery efforts, Reuters reported.
“Look at other countries around the world, we can see all too clearly what could go wrong if we don’t continue to follow the guidance, if we don’t continue to keep this thing under control,” he said at a Downing Street media briefing, according to Reuters. “There are parts of the world where it’s continuing to spike, we don’t want to see that in this country,” he said, though he did not name any countries.
The U.K. has reported more than 294,100 cases of the coronavirus and over 45,200 Covid-19 deaths. That pales in comparison to the U.S. outbreak, which continues to grow rapidly, of more than 3.5 million cases and over 138,300 deaths.
