The city of Leicester, in central England, may be re-imposed blockade after noting a sharp increase in the number of nCoV infections.

The British government could impose strict blockade regulations for the city of Leicester "in the next few days", after recording 658 new nCoV infections within the first two weeks of June, accounting for 25% of the total

British Interior Minister Priti Patel confirmed the government would increase its support to the Leicester government in the fight against Covid-19, especially in the field of testing and medical resources.

New cases in Leicester were mainly related to new outbreaks of outbreaks in food processing plants and crowds gathered outside takeaway restaurants.

Patel added that new outbreaks have also occurred in the UK in the past 3-4 weeks.

The new epidemic in Leicester is of great concern in the UK, which has been hit hard by Covid-19.

Over the past few days, Britain has seen tens of thousands of people flock to the beach, organize a party on the street or pull out to celebrate Liverpool's championship, ignoring the rules for social spacing.

More than 10 million people worldwide have been infected with nCoV, of which more than 500,000 have died.
