Johnson, who returned to work on Monday after recovering from COVID-19, tweeted that the country "will not forget you.”Johnson has said he won't risk a second peak in the virus by relaxing the lockdown restrictions too soon. Though England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales moved into lockdown together, some divergences are emerging. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said her government was recommending the use of face coverings in limited circumstances, such as when using public transport or buying food. The U.K. government hasn't made such a recommendation. The Office for National Statistics also said Tuesday that 22,351 people in England and Wales died in the week ending April 17, the highest since comparable records began in 1993.
