From June the 1st at the earliest, and as long as it’s safe, we aim to allow primary schools to reopen for some pupils in smaller class sizes, non-essential retail to start to reopen, and cultural and sporting events to take place behind closed doors and without crowds.Īnd then, on Step 3, no earlier than July the fourth. You can meet one person who’s not part of your household outside provided you do stay two meters apart. You can now spend time outdoors and exercise as much as you like. Meaning that those who cannot work from home should now speak to their employer about going back to work. Thanks to the British people, we’ve brought the R down and we can now begin moving carefully to Level 3.Ĭan I have slide two? From this week, we’re at Step 1, that slide. Throughout the lockdown, we’ve been at Level 4.

Today, I’m going to set out how, whilst the country has been a virtual standstill, this downtime has been used to fix and upgrade the Nation’s road and rail infrastructure along with plans to help our economy bounce back.īut before I set out today’s transport announcements, let me briefly remind you of the Government’s Roadmap out of this crisis.Ĭan I have the first slide, please? As you know, we’ve established a new COVID alert system with five levels based primarily on the R value and the number of cases. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends as this Nation battles to defeat the disease. This new figure does include all deaths in all settings, not just in hospitals.

That’s an increase of 428 fatalities since yesterday. And sadly, of those tested positive for Coronavirus 33,614 have now died. 11,041 people are in hospital with COVID-19, that’s down 14% from a week ago. 233,151 people have tested positive, that’s an increase of 3,446 cases since yesterday. Including a new record of 126,064 tests carried out yesterday. Through our monitoring and testing program, as of today, 2,219,281 tests for Coronavirus have now being carried out in the UK. Let me start by updating you on the latest information from the Government’s Cobra data file. I’m pleased to be joined today by Professor Jonathan Bantam. Good afternoon, and welcome to today’s Downing Street Press Conference.
