Has introduced a new coronavirus restrictions in the northeast of england this infections are rising sharply in britain residents in several cities and towns are being told not to socialize with people outside their support bubble pubs and other venues will close at 10 pm. Mr speaker i know the whole house knows that these decisions have a real impact on families on businesses and on local communities and i can tell everyone affected that we do not take these decisions lightly we agree with the local councils that we must follow the data and on the data says that we must act now so we can control the virus and keep people safe and i know that the people of the northeast will come together to defeat this virus was defeated we must let internet in barber hes joining us from london so are these then more a local lockdown measures that have been announced as you. Well during they are local look down measures but they cover a large area of northeast england affecting around one and a half 1000000 people now if you add together all of the localized restrictions in the u. K. They now affect almost 10000000 people so it is a very larger number of people if not geographically a huge area but this is the largest single move as you heard there in parliament from the Health Secretary hancock it something the government says it didnt want to do but it is saying that its responding to the data now might have caught gave some figures about some of the areas in these new restrictions which come in at midnight local time on thursday talking about households not being allowed now to mix with other households unless theyre in that social bubble and for example pods Entertainment Venues having to close between 10 oclock at night and 5 oclock in the morning these these restrictions he says have a necessary because for example in sunderland the city of sunderland there are now 103 cases per 100000 of population and in all of the others affected he says the figure is over 70 per 100000 well in the press here its being reported that local m. P. s in the northeast actually asked the Health MinisterNadine Dorries for reassurances of how the testing system was being improved in the region and were not satisfied with her answers before these restrictions came in so there is still a lot of unhappiness not just with the fact that these restrictions are being imposed but unhappiness with the testing system yet again because reports seem to suggest that turnaround times to get tests results back arent getting longer and longer. In some places they certainly are hancock in parliament here has just told m. P. s that in fact capacity he says capacity is at record levels well something is clearly going on big going wrong because the press for the last few days has been full of anecdotes and interviews with members of the public including Frontline Health care workers. N. H. S. Staff and teachers who say that they havent been able to access a test which would let them get back to work and there are there are have been reports of miscommunication between the various parts of the system so that in some instances test centers have not been able to be reached or to be booked online which is how most people try to get a covered test match hancock now is urging people if they dont have covered symptoms not to come forward and ask for a test but i think the feeling is that the public largely now feel that they are being blamed for trying to do the right thing hes acknowledged that winter is around the corner hes announced a new money for their Health Care System for that to the tune of around 3000000000 pounds but what people want to know is right now while the schools are getting back pupils are back in schools while people are being urged to go back to the office can they really get the testing system and the track and trace system working quickly and efficiently otherwise more lock downs are going to be inevitable all right thank you for that update from london.
