Dominic Raab has suggested that the lockdown isn\u2019t to be relaxed yet as the UK stays at home for another 3 weeks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re currently on week 3 of the lockdown in the UK.<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s said that he will announce on Thursday that the lockdown will stay in place until at least May 7, as he is still working in the place of Boris Johnson as he recovers from Coronavirus.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s widely agreed that people should remain at home for the time being, but senior minister are torn on whether to let people go back to work, as health and economic stress starts to mount.<\/p>\n

Professor Linda Bauld, of the University of Edinburgh, also warned that support for the lockdown measures by UK citizens \u201cwon\u2019t last\u201d as the \u201csocial, economic and health effects of the lockdown are accumulating\u201d. \u201cThere will come a tipping point when the cost of the current restrictions outweighs the benefits,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cSooner rather than later, government needs to share the possible options with the public and be transparent about the costs and benefits of each, rather than evading questions of this, as is currently the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst everyone is eager to get back to a normal life, it probably won\u2019t be that black and white. Especially because scientists advise that relaxing restrictions is a gradual thing; closely monitored. It\u2019s safe to say life may never be the same again for everyone, and we can all learn a lot from this pandemic, about hygiene, the economy, where we\u2019ve gone wrong, and what we\u2019ve done right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
