The UK could be put in place for a ‘firewall’ lockdown in October if hospitalizations for Covid continue to rise.

The government reportedly drew up plans for another lockdown in October after a senior government scientist revealed the UK was on the verge of entering “an extended peak”.

After speaking to SAGE, newspaper i reported that the October semester could be extended to two weeks rather than a week.

While a full lockdown is unlikely, it is reported that some travel restrictions may be reintroduced.

A full lockdown would be considered a last resort, but an extended school semester until early November could be used to stop hospital admissions.

Face coverings could also return as the government considers a return to social distancing and a limit to social gatherings.

Amid those reports, we’ve summarized the latest Covid-19 numbers from Windsor and Maidenhead.
