Boris Johnson says the coronavirus lockdown must continue in order to prevent a 'new wave of death' in the UK
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed the nation Monday as he returned to work after being treated in intensive care for COVID-19.
The UK government's scientific advisers are set to report to the prime minister later this week on the impact of the lockdown measures, which are due to be reviewed in the first week of May."I'm sorry I've been away from my desk for much longer than I would have liked." "And I in no way minimise the continuing problems we face. And yet it is also true that we are making progress with fewer hospital admissions, fewer COVID patients in ICU. And real signs now that we are passing through the peak."Thanks to our collective national resolve we are on the brink of achieving that first clear mission: to prevent our National Health Service being overwhelmed in a way that tragically we have seen elsewhere.
"And I know how hard and how stressful it has been to give up even temporarily those ancient and basic freedoms, not seeing friends, not seeing loved ones, working from home, managing the kids, worrying about your job and your firm. "And I ask you to contain your impatience because I believe we are coming now to the end of the first phase of this conflict. And in spite of all the suffering, we have so nearly succeeded. We defied so many predicitons, we did not run out of ventilators or ICU beds, we did not allow our NHS to collapse.
