Lockdown easing: Four numbers to look for ahead of the 21 June decision
Lockdown easing: Four numbers to look for ahead of the 21 June decision
The government faces a difficult choice in the next few days.
Many people are desperate to see the return to normality promised by the final stage of the government's roadmap to lifting lockdown.
But ministers always said 21 June was not set in stone - and could be affected by changes in the pandemic, including the emergence of new variants.
What will they be weighing up as they make their final decision?
Here are four key numbers to watch out for in the coming days.
1. The number of people in hospital
1. The number of people in hospital
There are just under 1,000 people with coronavirus in hospitals in the UK, up about 5% from a low point a week ago.
That's far below the peak of nearly 40,000 people in January. And NHS Providers say the people who are going in aren't as seriously ill as they were in early waves. They are younger, or don't require intensive care as much - and they're coming out sooner.
That means this wave is different, and better, than previous ones but eventually rising admissions will mount up.

El gobierno, se enfrenta, en los próximos días a una difícil elección.
Muchas personas están desesperadas por ver el regreso a la normalidad prometido en la etapa final de la hoja de ruta del gobierno para levantar la cuarentena.
Pero, los ministros siempre salen a decir que el día 21 de Junio, no estaba escrito en piedras, y podría verse afectado por los cambios pandémicos, incluyendo la aparición de las nuevas variantes.
¿Qué estarán sopesando al tomar la última decisión?
En los siguientes párrafos, encontrarás 4 números claves para tener en cuenta los próximos días:
El número de gente en los hospitales.
Está por debajo de las 1.000 personas con coronavirus en los hospitales británicos. El 5% más del mínimo de hace una semana.
Está muy por debajo del pico de casi 40.000 personas en enero, y los proveedores de NH dicen que la gente que ingresan no están tan gravemente enfermos como en las primeras oleadas. Son más jóvenes o no necesitan de tanto cuidado intensivo y saldrán antes.
Eso significa que esta nueva ola es diferente y mejor que las anteriores, pero eventualmente aumentará el número de admisiones.

In this time, I chose an international source for the news, It has been made by BBC News.
Sadly, I couldn't find a recent article about the lockdowns here in Panama, so I got this one from the UK, that seemed to be very interesting since all of the countries have been in the same position as UK, so they really showed that they didn't want to mess it up all the good things they have made with the lockdowns and now get a new wave but increased than the other ones. It is great to see how other countries manage their situation, so we can maybe do the same as they are doing to increase our economy but at the same time to ease the mortality and the propagation of the virus.
