UK PM Warns People To Avoid Indoor Meetings, Even If Vaccinated

1069

According to an article published in The Telegraph, Vaccinated people should not meet indoors because jabs “are not giving 100 per cent protection”, the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned. 

Twitter Answering Video

In a Twitter video answering questions from the public, Boris Johnson said the country is “not yet” at the stage where families and friends can meet inside, even if they are immunised. 

Cautious Warning

“We’re still very much in a world where you can meet friends and family outdoors under the rule of six or two households,” he said. “And even though your friends and family members may be vaccinated, the vaccines are not giving 100 per cent protection, and that’s why we just need to be cautious.”

“We don’t think that they entirely reduce or remove the risk of transmission,” the Prime Minister warned. 

PM’s Comments

His comments come after the UK started to ease restrictions, with groups of six or two households able to meet outdoors.

But the advice contrasts to that in other parts of the world. Last month the United States Centre for Disease Control suggested Americans who have been fully vaccinated can meet each other inside without wearing masks.

Mr Johnson’s comments come as more than 70 British lawmakers signalled their opposition to the introduction of vaccination certificates, which the government is considering in an effort to help reopen the economy.
