‘STAY ALERT’
It will be seen for the first time when it addresses the nation on live television at 7 p.m.
The complete new sentence will read: “Stay alert. Control the virus. Save lives.”
It will replace the now familiar message: “Stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives. “
Johnson believes that now the NHS has been protected from over-staffing and families will have more freedom, the emphasis must change.
People will be allowed to leave the house more frequently, but they must be vigilant to stop the spread of the virus.
The new phrase came amid fears that the “stay home” message had been too effective and had terrified many families to venture out.
It was devised by Australian strategist Isaac Levido, a former brain of the Vote Leave campaign, Ben Guerin, a 25-year-old kiwi who advised conservatives on his 2019 election strategy.
LOCK CHANGES
Anyone who cannot do their work from home will be asked to return to work but to follow the guidelines for social distancing.
The changes will also reportedly include a coronavirus warning system managed by a new “joint biosecurity center” and modeling on the system used to announce the level of terrorism threat.
Alerts will range from green at level one to red at level five, and Johnson is expected to say the nation is close to going from four to three.
The system will include a means to monitor increases in infection rates in different areas in order to tighten restrictions across England locally.
BORIS FOOTPRINT
The Prime Minister will chair an emergency Cobra committee meeting with cabinet ministers, delegated nation leaders and London Mayor Sadiq Khan before his prerecorded speech at 7pm.
Later in the week, Johnson will address the 1922 Bank Conservatives Committee, some of whom are beginning to voice concerns about whether the blockade can or should be sustained.
Despite the move to relax the measures, a Downing Street source told the Telegraph that the prime minister would act with “utmost caution and utmost conditionality.”
