K. Economy has seen its sharpest fall in more than 40 years because of covert 19 the chancellery she soon that will announce further details next week we must work fast because weve already seen the drop in g. D. P. And we know that people are worried about jobs and their businesses and were waiting as if between the flash of lightning. And the thunderclap with a hot. For the food economic reverberations to appear. Well meanwhile Business Owners in leicester say that they are depressed after the u. K. City became the 1st to implement a local lockdown after a spike in corona virus cases more than 4000 businesses have been affected Health Secretary matt hancock says the measures will be reviewed in 2 weeks but as john howard reports thats no rest fight for those who were hoping to open up on saturday. I care. Less these lockdown is a blow to an already battered local economy its sad for lester this is going to happen ive met lots of other Business Owners if come in for coffee today very sad that its not going away and for their restaurants and pubs that thought theyd be reopening on saturday now cant nonessential shops and schools that had reopened must now close to 10 percent of all new infections nationally are happening here in a city of 350000 people thats now a test case for the containment of localized outbreaks and it appears theres a lot to learn and certainly if we knew about their ethnicity and if we knew in great detail and had known in great detail about where they lived we might have been able to make some inferences about whether they were associated with just just those places we havent had it and therefore we dont know it there is a sense that things are being made up a little on the hoof both by local authorities and Central Government and not helped by big holes in the available testing data being drip fed by Central Government and even then not allowing for new cases of the virus to be sourced to local workplaces local addresses or ethnicities. Making it hard to contain an outbreak that seems to be prevalent in lesters large asian communities i think its been very highly irresponsible of our government Central Government not to give that information to the local authority here i think less the city council should have been given that information as soon as it was available so that they could prepare and plan for how to meet this growing number of those who are being affected by it in force mint is also an issue just ask people in villages outside the lockdown zone power on earth do you police whether people leave that area or do you have a Police Person on every street corner. Do. Well and elsewhere have to do some kind of check as people walk through the door how on earth is a local ice locked down in forcible and if its not enforceable.
