“This is not the time to lift the shutdown,” Johnson said in a televised address to the nation Sunday night, presenting plans for the country’s reopening.
Johnson warns that an alarm system consisting of five levels will be introduced where level one is zero virus and level five is the most severe. The UK is currently at level four. Reopening depends on the infection arrows pointing in the right direction, he emphasizes.
“If the numbers go in the wrong direction, they will adjust again,” says Johnson.
gradually
The reopening will be gradual over the next two months.
From Wednesday it is allowed to exercise outdoors as long as you want.
In addition, people who cannot work from home, such as construction workers, are now encouraged to go to work, but avoid public transportation.
Only from June 1, the first students of the British school will be able to enter the classrooms. The opening of the school will be gradual, with first to sixth grade first. Stores can also open from June at the earliest.
The accommodation, as well as the pubs and restaurants, will be open in early July, provided the development is in the desired direction.
More details on the roadmap will be released when Johnsen presents it to Parliament on Monday.

Prevent disasters
At the same time, the British Prime Minister claims that the country’s closure “has prevented a disaster.” Britain has the highest death toll in Europe, but the situation could have been much worse if it had not been closed, according to Johnson.
“Without the measures, up to half a million Britons could have died as a result of covid-19,” he says.
At the same time, Johnson believes it would be “crazy” to throw away everything that has been accomplished by curtailing the measures prematurely and thereby opening up to a new wave of coronary infection.
He warns that the fine for violating the coronary restriction will increase from 60 to 100 pounds.

Modified slogan
On Sunday, the government also issued a new slogan. Among other things, “Stay at home” has been replaced by “Stay Alert”. He is being criticized by, among others, Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who believes the London government is sending unclear signals.
– It is still important to stay home, says Sturgeon.
Britain closed large sections of society on March 23.
More than 31,800 people have been recorded dead as a result of coronary infection in the UK, while almost 220,000 have been diagnosed with the virus.
