The UK crown crisis is far from over. Still, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced several easing on contact restrictions on Sunday. Unions, business representatives and opposition voices harshly criticized the actions of the British government. They asked Johnson for more clarity in the fight against the pandemic.
Johnson said Sunday that those who couldn’t work from home should return to work observing distance rules. Public transportation should be avoided if possible. From Wednesday onwards, sunbathing is allowed outside again. Travel within England, for example to the coast, is again allowed. Johnson also introduced a five-tier warning system to assess the situation in the UK.
Foreign Minister Dominic Raab told Sky News on Monday that hairdressers and restaurants should open in July at the earliest. The British have to do without their pint in the pub at least until then.
Opposition Labor leader Keir Starmer said Johnson’s speech on Sunday night left “more questions than answers.” Scottish National Party (SNP) leader in parliament Ian Blackford spoke of “confusion”. The UK Chamber of Commerce emphasized that companies need clear instructions on how to protect their employees. The National Union for Education condemned the plan that individual grades in schools could start in June as “ruthless.” Most teachers reject the surveys.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland announced that they would follow their own, stricter path. Johnson also wanted to present his plans to Parliament on Monday afternoon.
Britain has the majority of crown victims in Europe; To date, around 32,000 people have died. Protective gear is still missing. The goal of 100,000 tests a day is still not always achieved.
