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, Boris Johnson has told UK citizens. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a modest easing of the coronavirus lockdown yesterday and outlined his government’s road map for further lifting restrictions in the coming months, Sky News reports. Johnson also laid out a “conditional plan” for relaxing other lockdown restrictions in the coming months, including the possible return to school from some younger children on June 1. He said he hoped some of the hospitality industry can reopen a month later. The PM stressed that now "is not the time" to end the lockdown altogether - and said the government is simply taking "the first careful steps" to ease certain measures.
