evidence: Initially, the United Kingdom (UK) opted for a herd-immunity approach; however, mitigation strategies were implemented on March 18, 2020, when the daily new COVID-19 cases reached 407 per day [11, 306, 307]. The UK, at 382.1 deaths per million cases, has exceeded Italy’s death toll at 298.1 deaths per million cases (As of February 25, 2021) [11]. However, the UK still remains lower on the scale in comparison to the USA, which is at 2,090.9 deaths per million cases. Around August of 2020, the UK began easing up lockdown measures, before resuming stricter measures on November 5, 2020, announcing an ending date of March 2021. This reactive response may have been as a result of the spike that was brought by the reopening of education institutions gradually in June. By doing so, the UK authorities risked raising the reproductive number above 1 [308]. On November 8, 2020, Scotland elevated their restriction to a level 5, meaning individuals are only allowed to go out for an emergency. Following this, a few travel restrictions were placed again, such as a 14-days quarantine for travellers coming from certain countries (e.g. Spain) starting from December 12, 2020. [...] Health NIo.
