British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday urged Britons to “pull together” as both England and Scotland entered national lockdown to stem the surge of the new CCP virus variant.

“I want to say to everyone right across the United Kingdom that I know how tough this is, I know how frustrated you are, I know that you have had more than enough of government guidance about defeating this virus,” Johnson wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning.
