British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who returned to take up his duties in London after recovering from an emerging Coronavirus infection, called on the British to continue to respect isolation measures, even though the curve of the epidemic in the country is beginning to decline, stressing that easing general isolation measures is now a great risk.
After a month of being confirmed as having a "Covid-19" epidemic and two weeks after his discharge from the hospital, Johnson addressed the British Prime Minister in his first statement after returning to work, and said: "We have now started reversing," and thanked the British for their "sense of responsibility and spirit of solidarity." ».
He added, “I know it is difficult. "I want to give the economy a boost as quickly as possible, but I refuse to waste the efforts and sacrifices of the British people and risk a new wave of casualties."
Faced with mounting pressure to devise a strategy to ease isolation measures, he declared that he “understands the impatience” of the British who have been staying with their homes since March 23. He promised to make decisions in the coming days on changing the procedures adopted to align with a prolonged crisis, but he warned that isolation at the moment is necessary, and it is imposed until May 7 in principle.
With 20,732 deaths in hospitals alone, Britain is one of the most affected countries in Europe, and the outcome is higher with deaths in the elderly homes, estimated at thousands, according to officials in the sector.
