The country is officially past the peak of the virus, says Boris Johnson as he says lockdown lifting plans will be released.
The Prime Minister announced this as he led his first Daily Downing Street Press Conference since falling ill with the virus.
He told the conference that the NHS had not been overwhelmed, unlike the health services of other countries, and that this shows that the country had passed its first aim.
A comprehensive plan will be published next week and it will cover three things,how we can restart the economy; how we can get our children back to school; and how we can get people into work.
The Prime Minister stressed that nothing that we do should risk the reproduction rate (R) of the virus rising about 1, when lifting lockdown.””We did this in phase 1… and we can do it in phase 2,” he said.
