Mr Johnson said people will be encouraged to use"mitigation" - such as face coverings and not sitting face-to-face - when within 2m of each other and"where it is possible to keep 2m apart, people should".Boris Johnson is cheered as he announces English pubs can reopen from 4 July
Mr Johnson said that the announcement meant"our long national hibernation is beginning to come to an end". He added he thought it was"safe for some children to return to school" and he urged clarity over getting all children back to school safely.The number of infections has fallen dramatically.That compares to an estimated 100,000 at the peak at the end of March - we don't know the exact figure because there was limited testing in place.But the number of infections is still significantly higher than other countries.
But not gyms. Makes perfect sense.
Following the science / make it up as we go along.
The bedwetters won’t be pleased! 😂😂😂
AdebolaAdeshina Bad idea to reopen on a Saturday. It will straight in at the deep end for staff. Why not wait 2 days and ease staff in to get accustomed to new procedures?
But no Cricket, whilst spitting, snotting and other familiar sporting reactions are perfectly allowable on eg the football pitch. Honestly this Shambles of a PM BorisJohnson is talking once again out of his vacuous, ill informed faux erudite noisebox
Social distancing has NOT been reduced from 2m to 1+. What he actually said....
This is BS. Pubs and restaurants can open, gyms can’t. Tax on alcohol is more important than public physical health I guess.
When pubs are open, do we really think drunken people will stick to the rules ?. Not a chance, are there going to be rules in place so people can’t buy loads of drink ? Or is that just a free for all ?, I’m speaking for everyone BorisJohnson
So when can we meet people in the same household? Is it 4th july or this week like whats going on 😂
Pubs! Yeah because getting pissed is more important than the gyms which btw keep my mental health together, no big deal. What a f*cking joke!
Finally people will stop being paid with my tax money to sit on their backsides
But you can't meet more than one friend for a night out. Is that right?
Talk about ‘mañana’... Why then? Why not now?
Can driving lessons start?
Umm, can he really modify the safe distance from 2m to 1m? Is it up to him?
If he’s doing the presser tonight can someone ask him about his fathers application for a french passport?
Can we take passengers in our cars if they are from a different household?
Welcome to dictatorship uk. More deaths to come now. publicinquiry criminalinquiry needs to happen ASAP
Starmers response was so awful. It shocking. ‘Lockdown needs to be relaxed carefully, with the support of science and in a phased way’. None of which Boris has done. He did it in the name of economy. He should have just opened pubs and left everything else till later.
👏👏👏
Over 1Million kids look forward to spending 9 weeks in the pub as schools are not safe enough to open 🤔
He's chosen 4th July entirely so he can make endless clunking 'Independence Day' references hasn't he? Just wait and see. It just gets more and more depressing.
Holiday parks
These rules need implemented UK wide.
Opening up more now will just put England back to where we were 2 months ago. The plebs dying doesn't matter, the economy is more important to the Tories. Without track and trace in place, deaths and Infections will skyrocket.
1metre +? Is that 2 metres
1m+ ... definitely not led by science. If we reduce the distance we should really promote face masks more heavily. You barely see any people wearing face masks currently.
Я верю вам
Can’t have a 2nd wave if you never get rid of the first one. What idiots 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Nightclubs being lumped in with gyms and swimming pools just about sums it up. openourpools
