The COVID Diaries – 31 26th April
Tough restrictions lasting for many months will be “the new normal” according to government minister Dominic Raab, speaking on television today. He played down an early easing of the current lockdown.
“Social distancing measures are going to be with us for some time,” he warned.
Schools would be required to separate out pupils and offices allowed to open but only with fewer staff. Businesses would be told to create 2 metre gaps between customers.
None of this is likely, however, before current measures “get the virus down”.
