The UK government has urged a total of 5.7 million people, the equivalent of 10 percent of the population of England, to minimise travel and to meet outside rather than inside in order to curb the spread of the Indian CCP virus variant.
Addressing the House of Commons on Tuesday, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that a “strengthened package of support” will be provided for Greater Manchester and Lancashire to tackle rising infections of the Indian variant, also known as the Delta variant, of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
