Lockdown To Be Lifted ‘Gradually’, According To The British Government.
The lifting of COVID-19 lockdown measures in the United Kingdom was likely to be “gradual”, according to the British government.
This, as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will reveal the British government’s plans following the announcement that the country had passed the peak of the coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19.
According to Senior Minister Michael Gove, there would be having “some degree of constraint” once restrictions were eased until a vaccine against the coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 was found.
‘Phased Approach’
Senior Minister Michael Gove said that a “phased approach” would allow the British government to evaluate the impact that those changes were “having on public health and, if necessary, in a specific and localized way”, as such, the government could “pause” or “reintroduce” restrictions which might be required in dealing with “localized outbreaks” of the coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19.
Using Face Mask ‘Useful’
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson also said that using face masks can be “useful” as the United Kingdom will resume to its “new normal”.
