UK lockdown extended for at least three more weeks

The UK's coronavirus lockdown will remain in place for at least another three weeks, the government has announced. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is deputising for Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he recovers from COVID-19, said experts had warned that relaxing the lockdown would "risk damage to both public health and the economy". Speaking at Downing Street's daily coronavirus news briefing, Mr Raab said: "The government has decided that the current measures must remain in place for at least the next three weeks." The extension takes the lockdown to at least 7 May, and Mr Raab hinted it would likely go further in light of a previous suggestion by the Prime Minister that the UK could "turn the tide" of the virus within 12 weeks.
