Boris Johnson told Britons to work from home when possible and ordered pubs and restaurants to close early as he sought to stamp out a resurgence of coronavirus in the weeks ahead. “This is the moment when we must act,” Johnson told Parliament on Tuesday. With immediate effect, the government’s message is changing to encourage more people in England to work from home, where possible. This applies especially to office workers, where individuals and their employers agree it is possible to work at home effectively, officials said. The government also subsidized restaurant meals throughout August in an effort to boost the industry and restore Britons to pre-Covid habits.
