United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he does not want to see a second national lockdown to combat the coronavirus pandemic, saying it would be completely wrong for the UK and financially disastrous.

“I don’t want a second national lockdown,” he told a parliamentary committee.

“I think it would be completely wrong for this country and we are going to do everything in our power to prevent it … I very much doubt that the financial consequences would be anything but disastrous.”

United Kingdom has 374 228 covid-19 cases with 41 664 deaths
