How will Boris Johnson lift lockdown and what will happen first? The Prime Minister Boris Johnson will announce plans for his roadmap out of lockdown today. Over the last week, Mr Johnson has been adamant that any easing of lockdown restrictions must happen in stages , with a return to the classroom for schoolchildren thought to be one of the first things on his agenda. But what about the hospitality industry, gyms and leisure centres, holidays abroad and most importantly, seeing family? While it s not yet clear exactly how the government plan to end the lockdown, with rumours pubs could only re-open in May, and no mention of any easing of restrictions for gyms or sports facilities, the PM s decisions over how and when restrictions may be lifted will be informed by the latest Covid-19 data, which he and his colleagues have examined closely over the weekend.
The bosses of some of Britain s biggest airlines and package holiday firms urged Mr Johnson to have a can-do attitude to reopening travel or face tens of thousands more jobs being destroyed.
