More than 1 million people in England have been infected with the CCP virus, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Tuesday, leaving the government with “no choice” but to impose a national lockdown.

Johnson announced on Monday evening that England was to be put into a new national lockdown from Tuesday, ditching the local tiered system, which he said had failed to hold back a surge of the new CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus variant.
