The COVID Diaries – 32 27th April
So Boris is back in Downing Street. We wish him well.
In his first speech since his recovery from the coronavirus he said the lockdown cannot be eased yet as the UK is at the point of “maximum risk”.
While he stated that there were signs the country was “turning the tide” he also said it was too early to lift the restrictions.
Johnson repeated the government’s view that it was too early to spell out details of how or when the lockdown would be lifted, but indicated removal of restrictions will be “gradual”.
