A head of gardening said, “This will be excellent for people’s physical and mental well-being.”
The reopening of the garden centers involves measures to be announced in the prime minister’s “unlocking” master plan tomorrow night.
They will open their doors on Wednesday, giving staff two days to install social distance tapes and Perspex displays in the boxes.
Boris Johnson will unveil the move to reward the British for abiding by the strict rules of staying home.
Unlimited walks, races or cycles.
The centers would face ruin if they had to remain closed, as they earn 60 percent of annual income in the planting season.
The scientists concluded that the risk of spreading the virus in largely open-air centers is low, provided their cafes and playgrounds remain closed.
Source No10: “We will do what we can to help, carefully and little by little. Reopening centers in adequate conditions is something we can do now. ”
The Prime Minister will also relax exercise rules to allow for unlimited walks, runs, or cycles.
And Environment Secretary George Eustice urged take-out food establishments to reopen, insisting they were never required to close.
He revealed conversations with McDonald’s, KFC and Costa, adding: “There is a journey for social distancing.” In other developments:
Prime Minister Mark Drakeford announced that garden centers could reopen in Wales starting Monday, although their closure will last at least until May 28.
No10 sources insisted that the move has also been in Johnson’s secret plan.
Garden Center Association CEO Iain Wylie said it was great news, adding: “This will allow people to do much more in the garden, which is great for physical and mental well-being.”
Meanwhile, government figures revealed that park use skyrocketed in the last weekend in late April. Eustice said at last night’s briefing: “Although it will be a sunny bank holiday, it is vitally important that we abide by the rules. Please stay home and save lives.”
Welsh leader Drakeford also revealed that the libraries may reopen there soon. No10 initially remained silent after its announcements.
Nicola Sturgeon made it clear that nothing would be allowed to reopen in Scotland next week, as her R rate is higher than in other countries. Scottish Police Chief Iain Livingstone was among the police chiefs warning that it would be more difficult to enforce the rules if the four nations followed different closure paths.
Four Nations Approach
And Tim Brain, a former Gloucestershire Police Chief, said: “If we hear that some regions are having more servitude than others, that will send a particular problem for the police.
“How is someone traveling from the West Midlands, where restrictions could have been lifted, to Scotland, where they have not been detained?”
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We understand where there might be circumstances for the divergence, where there is scientific evidence to back it up. But we remain committed to taking a four-nation approach whenever possible. The Prime Minister is clear that we will adopt a precautionary approach. “
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said the prime minister would deploy the relaxations one by one, with great caution, starting Monday. But he said the move could stop and even reverse if the R rate went up again.
Dowden said the British were not getting the green light to abandon the closure. But he added: “People should be able to wait for the weeks and months to come to know where we are going and the order in which we are doing it.”
TRAINS will run on 70 percent of its hours beginning May 18, compared to approximately 50 percent.
