British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said people in some parts of the world had taken too many liberties with Covid-19 guidance and that young people should understand that they could spread the deadly virus, Reuters reported.

“If you look at what is happening elsewhere in the world, where people have been coming out of lockdown, I'm afraid what you're also seeing is people taking too many liberties with the guidance, mingling too much, not observing social distancing,” Johnson said.

“You've got really serious spikes. You may think that you're not going to get it and you are immortal and invincible and so on, and very likely that's true, particularly if you are a young person, but the bug you carry can kill elderly people particularly, it is still dangerous.”
