Boris Johnson will tell the British public to ‘stay vigilant, control the virus and save lives’ as the government drops the ‘stay home’ message in the next phase of the coronavirus war.
The prime minister is expected to remove the slogan ‘stay home, protect the NHS, save lives’ in a televised address to the UK tomorrow at 7pm in an effort to reopen parts of the economy.
A five-level warning system, administered by a Joint Biosafety Center, will be used to monitor virus risk across the country and encourage public adherence to the new measures.
Alerts range from Level One (green) to Level Five (red), with Britain currently at Level Four.
It will be managed by a Joint Biosecurity Center, which will be responsible for detecting local Covid-19 spikes so that ministers can increase restrictions when necessary to help reduce infection rates.

Johnson is expected to announce tomorrow that England is about to move to Level Three, in a sign that there is no significant increase in the rate of Covid-19 infection.
The new slogan is believed to have been drawn up by advisers to the 2019 Conservative Party election campaign amid fears that the previous instruction to ‘stay home’ had been too effective.
A 10th source said Johnson, who is facing increasing calls from conservative MPs to pull Britain out of a severe economic recession, is “proceeding with the utmost caution and maximum conditionality.”
The government’s roadmap to pull the country out of the shutdown will be published tomorrow in a 50-page document. It is understood that parliamentarians will be informed about the strategy.
The prime minister is also expected to say that social distancing rules will save livelihoods and lives. The change in messages reflects concern that Britain is facing an economic downturn that has not been felt in 300 years.
His transmission will be his second national address for the crisis, and the first since he was hospitalized. In advance, he will preside over a meeting of Cobra with the leaders of the delegated administrations and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Matt Hancock (right) has asked Prime Minister Boris Johnson (left) to ‘give him a break’ after a recent raid between the couple for the Health Secretary’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
The change in messaging comes as the united front of the Johnson government is cracking under pressure from the Covid crisis, with Health Secretary Matt Hancock and the prime minister in crisis.
Hancock, who has been criticized for missing test targets, urged Johnson to ‘give me a break’ in a furious raid that will raise questions about the future of the embattled Cabinet of Ministers.
Hancock’s spokesman said the ministers were “furious” about the bug with the glasses, which they said had been ordered by Labor in 2009.
A source in the Health Department called them ‘Gordon glasses’ and added that they were purchased against the 2001 protection standards that were replaced at the time they were purchased. “Even a decade later, we still have to clear up the mess at work,” they added.
The latest PPE fiasco will be detrimental to the Health Secretary, days after it became known that surgical gowns ordered from Turkey and shipped to the UK amid heavy fanfare did not meet British safety standards.
“The feeling is that Hancock is on borrowed time,” said a senior government source.
“He has fought with the most powerful figures in the government, from the prime minister down. Nothing will change immediately. But once we have beaten this thing, let’s hope it moves us.
A source said tensions had increased in the run-up to the deadline to reach 100.00 tests per target day, but said “the prime minister was highly praised for his performance.” A source No. 10 said: “This is a critical time, so, after carefully evaluating the evidence, the Prime Minister will call for resolution from the public as we continue to do whatever it takes to defeat this devastating virus.”
Yesterday, Johnson pleaded with the British public to stay indoors for the final days of the shutdown.
He tweeted: ‘Thank you for all you are doing to protect our NHS and save lives. This holiday weekend, stay home so we don’t undo everything we’ve done so far.
However, people still sneaked into the nation’s beauty spots for holiday sunbathing, including the Prime Minister who strolled through St James’s Park this morning, where he was approached by a passerby beating him with the fingers.
Existing allegations that the government is sending mixed messages were compounded after a series of reports that it was preparing to get rid of its “stay home” motto.
Also, casting a cloud of confusion, a second tweet from the official Downing Street account said: ‘If you’re going to leave the house this weekend, you should stay two meters away from the others.’
