Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday defended his decision to impose a second national lockdown 40 days after scientific advisers recommended such a move amid criticism that weeks of delay have meant thousands more infections and hundreds of needless deaths.

The comments came as Johnson gave the House of Commons details of the proposed four-week lockdown in England that is set to begin Thursday.

The plan was hurriedly announced Saturday after updated projections showed that rapidly rising infection rates risked swamping hospitals in a matter of weeks.

"Faced with these latest figures, there is no alternative but to take further action at a national level," Johnson told lawmakers, adding it was right to try imposing local measures first.

"I believe it was right to try every possible option to get this virus under control at a local level with strong local action and strong local leadership."
