What happened to those countries after they “lay down” to fight the epidemic?

After "laying down" to fight the epidemic, the number of new infections in those countries increased significantly. The details are as follows:

1. United Kingdom.

The latest data from the Office for National Statistics shows that approximately 1 in 13 people in the UK are diagnosed. Research results released on April 6 also showed that the Omicron BA2 strain is spreading rapidly in England, leading to a surge in infection rates among people over 55 years old since March, which is 20 times higher than the previous average.

2. United States.

With the spread of the Omicron BA2 strain, the incidence of new coronavirus in the United States has increased again. The latest statistics from the U.S. Disease Control and Prevention show that in the week ending April 2, BA2-infected people accounted for about 72% of the new coronavirus cases in the United States, with as many as 84% ??in places such as New York and New Jersey.

3. Japan.

The epidemic has shown a rebound trend recently, with the number of new infections increasing in 44 of the 47 prefectures across the country. On March 22, Japan lifted the key epidemic prevention measures implemented in 18 prefectures including Tokyo, and the flow of people in commercial streets increased.

4. South Korea.

The epidemic risk has remained at the highest level for five consecutive weeks. Especially since March, the number of confirmed cases in a single day has exceeded 300,000 for several consecutive days. Although the epidemic situation is not optimistic, the South Korean government still chose to relax some restrictions starting from March 5.

5. Germany.

The number of infections in Germany is still high. So far, the total number of confirmed cases has exceeded 22.47 million, more than a quarter of the total population; more than 130,000 people have died, and the number has increased slightly recently.
