No chance of lifting coronavirus lockdown after initial three weeks, Government admits

The Government has admitted that it does not intend to lift the nationwide coronavirus lockdown imminently after the initial three week period. Downing Street confirmed that the review of isolation measures would not go ahead on the scheduled date this Monday and said it would instead take place after the three-week mark. Speaking at the daily Covid-19 press conference on Tuesday, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the worst thing the country could do was “take its foot off the peddle” in terms of social distancing.
