The Meteorological Office predicts London could hit a temperate 26C today, with people who have already seen it hit Victoria Park and Brockwell Park for their daily exercise.

Signs with new rules in the hugely popular public space informed people of the ban on picnics, ball games, and sunbathing, and cyclists were told to dismount upon entering.

Announcements were also heard through loudspeakers telling people to follow the measures or to apply a fine or a fine.

Most people who visit green spaces appear to be keeping their distance from others, but police have still been forced to warn some against sunbathing or to ignore strict blocking rules.

An officer has been photographed using a megaphone to make sure no one breaks the rules in Victoria Park, while police officers had to separate groups of people relaxing by the river in Cambridgeshire.

A mounted police officer had to tell the people lying on the grass in East London to keep going, while at Clapham Common there was a line of people waiting for the butchers crossing the park.

Authorities are especially vigilant after the warm weather on Good Friday proved too tempting for some who ignored the government’s guidance to flock to the beach and sunbathe.

Dozens of people hit the beach at record temperatures, some in large groups, despite repeated warnings not to.

According to Paul Netherton, deputy director of Devon and Cornwall, the force is considering deploying boats off the coast as the beaches were flooded with sun yesterday.

At yesterday’s No10 press conference, England’s Nursing Director Ruth May said she had seen large groups gathering in London and was not happy to see emerging photos from across the country.

She said: “It is very, very frustrating, personally frustrating to see people clearly not doing social distancing and hanging out in large groups.”

It occurs when it was revealed that social distancing could be in effect indefinitely, while the government works to combat the murderous virus that causes chaos worldwide.

More than 100,000 people have died from coronavirus, with more than a million cases worldwide.

Although plans show that the blockade is likely to be in place for a few more months, The Telegraph reports that a careful return to classrooms could be the first stage in the virus exit strategy.

Whitehall officials at the Department of Education are believed to be considering plans that would start different age groups to return to school between June and July after the break.

But it is said that everything depends on when the pandemic peak reaches the United Kingdom, which has so far seen 70,272 cases of the killer bug and 8,958 deaths.

Yesterday, Britain’s coronavirus death toll rose by 980 in 24 hours, making it the largest increase and the deadliest day of its outbreak in Spain.

Most of the daily deaths occurred in England, where 866 people died.

The latest victims were between 27 and 100 years old, including 56 with no underlying health conditions.

Matt Hancock said at yesterday’s 10th press conference that the devastating numbers did not mean that the NHS was being “overrun” by the pandemic.

He said: “I am very happy, that so far in this crisis, there is no point where the NHS has been invaded, and every person with coronavirus has been able to access the best possible care in the NHS, because we have taken action to expand the NHS. “

People who drive to the beach or have a picnic can be fined up to £ 960 or even be arrested.

As temperatures rise, the police have warned people not to use the weather as an excuse to break blocking rules.

While it’s okay to visit your nearby beach for exercise or cruising, anyone traveling beyond your local area or visiting to sit or gather in large groups is breaking the law.

The death toll continues to rise as authorities believe new Covid-19 infections will peak on Easter Sunday and the NHS is poised for a “tsunami” of cases this weekend.

Scientists modeling the outbreak believe that harsh social distancing measures have slowed the spread of the error.

Hospital admissions are now forecast to start dropping around a fortnight, if the British continue at home.

Last week it was confirmed that schools would not reopen after Easter after a minister suggested reopening schools after Easter could “boost the economy.”

The unidentified minister was quoted as calling to allow the children to return to school after the Easter break in a fortnight.

The British could live with coronavirus restrictions until a vaccine is developed that could take “around 18 months,” according to reports.

The more severe restrictions will be phased out, but some, like remote work and isolation if you have symptoms of the virus, will remain in some form for the next year.

Scientists say the discovery of a vaccine is the only genuine “exit strategy” for the virus, meaning the country will have to adapt to a “new normal,” the Daily Mail reported.

It comes after Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told the nation that it was “too early” to lift the shutdown, and that the country “must comply with the plan” instead.
