In the United Kingdom, gradual relaxation of restrictions on measures against the new coronavirus has begun in England, including London, and face-to-face classes at schools have resumed as the first step.
The British government has severely restricted outings and economic activities following the spread of the mutated coronavirus, but in response to the decline in the number of infected people, it decided to gradually relax the restrictions in England including London. On the 8th, as the first step, face-to-face classes at school were resumed.
Face-to-face lessons have been restricted in principle since January, but when the government resumes, students, their families, and bus drivers for school will be given a simple virus test twice a week for free. We have introduced new measures such as making it available at.
In addition, in order to make up for learning in fields that are delayed due to class restrictions, we are considering shortening the summer vacation.
The British government plans to gradually lift the restrictions that remain until June, and will reopen retail stores, beauty salons, and outdoor restaurants as early as next month, and movie theaters in May. We are also planning to reopen the business of retail stores and hotels.
However, in order to carry out as planned, it is necessary to continue to prevent infection and deterioration of medical conditions along with vaccination, and we are calling on citizens to act cautiously.
