British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has said that the British government does not expect to make changes to coronavirus lockdown restrictions this week, it was reported.
Raab, who is deputising for Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he recovers from coronavirus, said on Monday that a meeting of scientific advisers would take place to review evidence relating to the current lockdown restrictions, reports the BBC. He said that easing restrictions too early would “risk a second wave” of infections. Responding to claims the government lacked an exit strategy, Raab said it was “crucially important that we do not take our eye off the ball or the public’s focus” off social distancing measures.
