The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, while making the announcement of easing restrictions on May 10, has called on people across the country to return to work if they cannot do so from home.
“We now need to stress that anyone who can't work from home, for instance those in construction or manufacturing, should be actively encouraged to go to work," he remarked while sharing his vision for gradually restarting the economy.
In a pre-recorded televised statement, Johnson disclosed a road map to resuming activity in the country following more than six weeks under lockdown.
He considered his plan as a cautious balance between keeping new infections down while easing the economic burden the pandemic has had on millions in the UK.
"From this Wednesday (May 13) we want to encourage people to take more and even unlimited amounts of outdoor exercise. Social distancing measures would stay in place. You can sit in the sun in your local park, you can drive to other destinations, you can even play sports but only with members of your own household," he elaborated.
