Prime Minister will this week announce which
sectors of the economy will be permitted to open from July 4, under
phase three of the roadmap. He will also announce the results of
the No10 review of the 2m rule.
Today (Monday 22nd)
the Prime Minister will meet with Cabinet colleagues on the C-19
Strategy Committee and experts to hear recommendations of the 2m
review and the next phase of the roadmap.
On Tuesday, Cabinet will be consulted and the Prime Minister will
set out the updated position to Parliament.
Following consultation with industry, detailed guidance will be
published for each sector so businesses that do open can be COVID
Secure.
The Prime Minister will warn the public that they must continue
to follow social distancing guidelines to keep the coronavirus
under control.
In the next phase of our fight against the disease, the NHS Test
and Trace system will be used to detect and control local
outbreaks through targeted lockdowns.
However, if there are widespread breaches of the rules resulting
in the virus threatening to run out of control, this week’s
easements will be the first to be reversed.
A No10 spokesperson said: “The reason we are
able to move forward this week is because the vast majority of
people have taken steps to contain the virus.
“The more we open up, the more important it is that everyone
follows the social distancing rules.
“We will not hesitate to put the handbrake on to stop the virus
running out of control.”
