Coronavirus: Health Secretary Matt Hancock warns of more restrictive measures as UK 'faces a tipping point'
It's in the new guidance

The contract, from Trafford Council in Greater Manchester, outlines how eligible care homes will receive COVID-positive patients within just 2 hours of the patient being identified by the hospital as ready for discharge.
A leading clinician warned it could become "commonplace" for hospital patients carrying COVID-19 to be discharged into care homes in England this winter, despite the controversy it caused in the early months of the pandemic.
Professor Adam Gordon told Channel 4 News that discharging patients from hospital to care homes was "accelerated and escalated" in the early months of the pandemic and that it could happen again in line with the latest UK Government guidance.
UK government guidance updated on September 16 reiterates that care homes in England should be prepared to accept COVID-19 positive patients from hospitals.
"As part of the national effort, the care sector also plays a vital role in accepting patients as they’re discharged from hospital, because recuperation is better in non-acute settings.
"Some of these patients may have COVID-19."
The guidance also states that care homes will not be forced to admit COVID-19 positive patients.
In Scotland, patients should test negative twice before being discharged from hospital to a care home.
Earlier in the pandemic tests were not required before discharging patients from hospitals to care homes.
The latest data from the Office for National Statistics is that there were 15,501 COVID-19 related deaths in care homes in England and Wales up to 4 September.
A worker at a national care home provider (who asked not to be identified) told Channel 4 News there was "pressure" from local authorities to take patients, including those carrying the virus.
"They are aiming now for patients to be out of hospital into a care home within a few hours from the decision to discharge them. That process used to take about a week.
"We have contracts with local authorities for block beds and you have to have a very good reason to reject a referral.
Ethically and operationally it's difficult to refuse a patient who's arrived in an ambulance at the care home door as many could die from the back and forth.
"There is an expectation and pressure to accept all patients."
The insider said current problems with testing in the UK meant care homes could not know whether the virus was circulating in the home after accepting COVID positive patients.
"When you're bringing COVID positive patients into a care home many will die. We have strong procedures to prevent the spread, but this virus is extremely contagious.
"We are relying on the testing system to help keep our residents and staff safe.
"We have staff and vulnerable residents who are being put in danger. Care homes may not be safeguarded and no one in Government seems to care."
Professor Adam Gordon, of the British Geriatrics Society, has been running a "red zone" COVID ward in a hospital during the pandemic and says infection control precautions taken in hospital present a challenge for care homes to replicate.

It would likely be descendants of the 108 Worshipful Livery company families who invested in the various ventures (e.g. East India Company, Virginia Company, Hudson's Bay Company, Muscovy Company…) who have constituted the secret aristocracy in North America and elsewhere; with a huge stake in the development of the (maritime) insurance industry. These are the private financial intelligence networks most likely positioned best to reep enormous profits off this global COVID "great reset" business model approaching the 4th Industrial Revolution to implement technology. It is also highly probable there exists coordination through private intelligence networks between the City of London and Beijing to coordinate all this.

Ed.'s note: What if this government war on civilization has been designed to cut out the government as the middleman in order to bring Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) systems online to replace governments? This will include facial recognition technology, robotics, basic universal guaranteed income, autonomous systems, social credit, drone technology for security, A.I. and data on cloud computing. If Victoria, Australia is looked at carefully and the government's bizarre behavior in regards to lockdown and restriction because of COVID, the Victoria government under Dan Andrews declared "A.I. as the greatest strategic issue facing Victoria." If you have this level of technological surveillance and control there will be no need for police when you can send the robots in.
Continuing COVID business model b*llshit out of the UK:
Most British residence know it is b*llshit too. That's why the psychopaths running UK's systems want a lockdown:
