United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister Boris Johnson, on Tuesday, cancelled his visit to India, which was scheduled on January 26 for the Republic Day celebrations, amid the sudden surge of COVID-19 infections in the country.

“UK Prime Minister spoke to Prime Minister Modi this morning, to express his regret that he will be unable to visit India later this month as planned,” a Downing Street spokeswoman was quoted as saying by AFP.

The news came after UK announced a national lockdown last night. The UK PM said that it was important for him to stay in UK so he could focus on people’s response to the virus.

Johnson, on Tuesday, also requested the citizens to stay at home again, to protect the NHS (National Health Service) and save lives.

I want to say to everyone right across the United Kingdom that I know how tough this is, I know how frustrated you are, I know that you have had more than enough of government guidance about defeating this virus, Johnson said in a thread of tweets.

?But now more than ever, we must pull together. With every jab that goes into our arms, we are tilting the odds against Covid and in favour of the British people. And, thanks to the miracle of science, not only is the end in sight but we know exactly how we will get there.

?But for now, I am afraid, you must once again stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives, the tweet further read.
