Sunny days have provided unusual challenges for public health officials in Britain as they try to keep people focused on the COVID-19 pandemic
People are seen enjoying the hot weather in Greenwich Park as U.K. government begins to ease COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in London, Britain on June 1, 2020.Soaring temperatures and record-breaking sunshine have provided unusual challenges for public health officials in Britain as they try to keep people focused on the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Monday some primary school students returned to class for the first time in more than two months and limits on family gatherings were removed. Car dealerships also reopened and horse racing resumed at some tracks, although behind closed doors. Next week more non-essential shops can open and on June 17 the English Premier League season will resume, but also without spectators.
Nancy Platts, the lead councillor in Brighton, said police officers struggled to cope with crowded beaches over the weekend despite calls for people to stay away. “Because so many people love coming to our city, this potentially puts people’s safety at risk and could undo all the work to prevent COVID-19 spreading which was achieved during lockdown,” she said.
Another worrying sign came from a recent YouGov poll that showed less than half of those surveyed trust the government for information about the virus. That’s down from around two-thirds in April.
