Boris Johnson says UK could start lifting lockdown measures as early as Monday

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday the UK could start easing its coronavirus lockdown restrictions as early as Monday.

“We will want, if we possibly can, to get going with some of these measures on Monday,” Johnson told Parliament in his first Prime Minister’s Questions session since falling ill with coronavirus.

The British prime minister further said a statement will be made on Sunday after the government reviews the latest data, adding it would be a “good thing” if people knew what to expect the following day.
