Tighter restrictions have been confirmed by the Government as the Prime Minister confirmed a ‘three-tier’ system for England to classify the severity of rates of COVID-19.

From Wednesday, regions will be classed as either ‘medium’, ‘high’, or ‘very high’ risk.

The details, announced in the Commons by Boris Johnson, came as the NHS said that Nightingale hospitals in Manchester, Sunderland, and Harrogate were being asked to mobilise in the next few weeks in response to growing rates of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the North West and North East.

Speaking at a Downing Street news briefing earlier, Prof Jonathan Van-Tam, England’s deputy chief medical officer, warned that additional hospital admissions and deaths were now ‘baked in’ as the virus spread from younger to older age groups.

Here’s where their journeys overlapped — and where they diverged.

Leaders ‘in good spirits,’ even in the hospital

Trump and Johnson, and the spinners for both, played down their covid-19 symptoms and evaded questions about their status. The emphasis was on how they remained strong and positive and in charge.

On Friday evening, as Trump was headed to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement that he “remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day.” She maintained that hospitalization was “out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts.” She added that the president would be working while there. (On Monday, McEnany revealed she tested positive for the virus, too.)

White House physician Sean Conley then gave a rosy pronouncement of the president’s status on Saturday — without disclosing that

Boris Johnson says reports that he has lingering health problems after his bout of coronavirus are “self-evidence drivel” spread by people who want him to fail.
The prime minister on Tuesday morning denied suggestions that he has not fully recovered since being taken to intensive care with the virus earlier this year.
He said it is “the kind of seditious propaganda you’d expect from people who don’t want this government to succeed, who wanted to stop us delivering Brexit and all of our other manifesto pledges…”.
Johnson denied the rumours in a speech to the Conservative party’s annual conference.

LONDON — As news of President Donald Trump’s shock diagnosis with Covid-19 spread Friday, the experience of United Kingdom Prime Minster Boris Johnson, who tested positive six months ago, could offer a clue to what might come next.

Johnson, 55, announced on March 27, at the height of the the pandemic in the U.K., that he was suffering “mild” symptoms and would self-isolate while continuing to work. He was thought to be the first world leader confirmed to contract Covid-19.

He kept in contact with ministers through what he called “wizardry of modern technology” and 10 Downing Street, his official residence and personal office, maintained that he was in control.

(LONDON) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Saturday that the coronavirus pandemic has frayed the bonds between nations, and urged world leaders to unite against the “common foe” of COVID-19.

Johnson, who made the remarks in a prerecorded speech to the United Nations General Assembly, said that, nine months into the pandemic, “the very notion of the international community looks tattered.”

“Never again must we wage 193 separate campaigns against the same enemy,” he said.

Johnson set out a plan for preventing another global pandemic, including a network of zoonotic research labs around the world to identify dangerous pathogens before they leap from animals to humans.

Johnson — who contracted COVID-19 in the spring and spent three nights in intensive care — also called for countries to share data to create a global early-warning system for disease outbreaks, and urged countries to stop slapping export controls on essential goods,
