Britain To Modify Restrictions In 2nd Phase Of Corona Lockdown

Mon PM Boris Johnson 1st public appearance after discharge from hospital

we are making progress with fewer admissions, fewer COVID patients

I see real signs we are passing through peak

we are now turning the tide," Johnson said

consequences of lockdown clear

difficult to give up freedoms, not see friends, loved ones, jobs

yet we should recognize risk of 2nd spike

risk losing control of virus Johnson said

Johnson refusing to "throw away all sacrifices" and risk 2nd outbreak

now end of 1st phase of "the conflict" 

We have collectively flattened peak

if 1st phase over, time to move to 2nd phase

we will continue to suppress disease 

gradually redefine economic, social restrictions Johnson said

impossible to make forecast on start of 2nd phase Johnson warned

pledging govt will act transparently

Johnson discussed plan for “modifying” lockdown rather than lifting it

restrictions will stay in place even if workplaces, schools reopen

As of Monday 148,381 cases in UK with 20,000 deaths

My comments : 

I hope our health authorities are watching other countries like Britain carefully. 

Malaysia is into our  42nd day of the lockdown (tomorrow). 

Britain is planning to lift some restrictions. 

We must see if there is a spike in new cases there.  

As Boris Johnson says "we should recognize risk of 2nd spike".
