Boris Johnson insists lockdown easing still on schedule, but warns public to proceed with caution
It is unclear “exactly how strong” the UK’s defences against another wave of coronavirus are, the prime minister has said, insisting that pubs and other non-essential retail were still on course to open from 12 April as planned.
Boris Johnson said there was no sign yet that the reopening of schools had thrown the roadmap out of lockdown off course, urging people to “proceed with caution” over the Easter weekend.
