The curve of the coronavirus epidemic “begins to reverse“In the UK but the British must continue to comply with containment measures to avoid an upsurge, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Monday in his first speech since his recovery from the coronavirus.
“We are now starting to reverse the trend“said the 55-year-old conservative leader outside 10 Downing Street who is under pressure to reveal his strategy for the evolution of containment, which has been in place for over a month.
The government wants to reduce the number of deaths and infections, protect health care services, expand Covid-19 testing programs and ensure a supply of personal protective equipment for health workers before moving on to “second phase“in response to the pandemic,” he added.
The executive “will then gradually begin to refine economic and social restrictions and launch the engines of the British economy one by one“said Mr. Johnson.
“And in this process, tough decisions will have to be made and we simply cannot specify how quickly or how slowly or even when these changes will be made.“
