Seorang Ahli Parlimen Hutan BARU telah bersuara menentang penutupan negara yang lain.
Ahli Parlimen New Forest West, Sir Desmond Swayne mengatakan, konstituensinya memiliki tingkat infeksi koronavirus yang “sangat rendah” dan akibatnya penduduk ini tidak harus “mengalami kerusakan.”
Bercakap kepada BBC News, Sir Desmond berkata: “Terhadap penutupan seperti yang saya lakukan, namun saya jauh lebih menyukai kebijakan pemerintah mengenai penutupan tempatan daripada penutupan negara lain yang dikenakan kepada kita di mana di kawasan saya jangkitan sangat rendah.
“Mengapa kita harus mengalami kerosakan pada ekonomi kita, kesihatan mental dan kesihatan sosial dan kebebasan individu kita sekiranya sebenarnya masalah itu tidak ada.”
Mengenai sistem Uji dan Jejak, dia mengatakan UK melakukan lebih banyak ujian daripada Perancis dan Sepanyol yang “disatukan” dan ketika ditanya mengapa hanya memberi “kesan marginal”, dia mengatakan masih ada orang yang tidak mengalami gejala dan, sebagai hasilnya, jangan hadir untuk ujian.
Sir Desmond berkata: “Itulah realiti penyakit ini, banyak orang tidak pernah tahu mereka menghidapnya dan oleh itu tidak menjalani ujian untuk diuji tetapi bagi orang yang melakukannya, kita dapat merancang penyakit ini secara geografi.”
‘Why should my constituents suffer the damage?’: MP speaks out against second national lockdown
Tory MP Sir Desmond Swayne
A NEW Forest MP has spoken out against another national lockdown.
New Forest West MP Sir Desmond Swayne said his constituency has “very low” infection rates of coronavirus and that as a result of this residents should not have to “suffer the damage.”
Speaking to BBC News, Sir Desmond said: “Against lockdowns as I am, nevertheless I’m vastly more favourable to the government’s policy of local lockdowns than to another national lockdown being imposed on us where in my constituency the infections are very low.
“Why should we suffer the damage to our economy and our mental health and social health and our individual liberty if actually the problem isn’t there.”
On the Test and Trace system, he said the UK was doing more testing than France and Spain “put together” and when questioned why it was only having a “marginal impact”, he said that there are still people who don’t have symptoms and, as a result, don’t present for a test.
Sir Desmond said: “That’s the reality of this disease, lots of people never knew they had it and therefore don’t go for a test to get tested but for those people who do, we can plot the disease geographically.”
