NHS England confirmed today that 370 coronavirus patients had died in hospitals, for a total of 20,853 in the country.

A 38-year-old man was the youngest killed by the insect in the past 24 hours, and 25 of the patients aged 43 to 91 had no known underlying health conditions.

Wales announced another 44 deaths today, bringing its total death toll to 969.

Northern Ireland recorded 11 additional deaths to see its total hit 376. Scotland has yet to announce today’s figures.

It occurs when The Sun revealed that Boris Johnson wants Britain back to work on Tuesday, May 26, as long as the coronavirus cases are low enough.

Ministers wrote Tuesday after the second bank holiday in May to launch the prime minister’s plan to restart the economy.

It comes as:

Boris will present his plan to lift the nation out of its grueling Covid-19 lockdown next Thursday.

In the detailed plans that are being drawn up across the government right now, offices, factories, and some stores will have two and a half weeks to install new government social distancing measures, such as perspex screens and space between desks.

No10 also believes that it will take that time to persuade millions of nervous Britons, it is safe to return to the workplace as long as your guidance is followed.

A survey yesterday revealed that two-thirds of Britons suffered from “coronaphobia” and were too scared to leave home or return to work.

Downing Street is also nervous about taking action ahead of this month’s second bank holiday, fearing that millions will take it as a sign that it’s safe to dump on parks and beaches over the summer holidays.

While a No10 source last night described May 26 as the most likely date for the blockade to begin to relax, a final decision on timing is “largely a live conversation.”

If the experts from the government’s Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies don’t consider the infections to have decreased enough, the plan will be delayed beyond May 26.

Not all sectors will be informed that they can return to work as soon.

The hospitality and entertainment industries are expected to remain closed for additional months, in a blow to pubs, restaurants, and movie theaters.

Other coronavirus restrictions are also likely to remain in place for some time, such as a ban on all social gatherings.

Boris Johnson was described as “optimistic” today when he briefed nine regional mayors on his latest ideas during a conference call.

A senior official on the call said Boris called his plan “managing the unlock.”

Schools are also not expected to reopen until June, preventing many parents from returning to work.

On Friday, Health Secretary Matt Hancock, host of the No10 daily press conference, tried to reassure a nervous parent by saying, “We are not going to reopen schools if it is not entirely safe to do so.”

But he bent down and said if parents would lose fines if they refused to send their children to classrooms.
