Under fire for lack of clarity over its lockdown exit plan, the U.K. government today set out more details in an attempt to clear things up
on Sunday evening, which was widely criticized for lacking precision. A broadcast round by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Monday morning ahead of the document’s release added to the confusion when he appeared to contradict the prime minister’s assertion that anyone who is able to work safely should return to their jobs on Wednesday, not Monday as Johnson had stated the night before.
The plan divides the exit into phases. As the country leaves phase one , the plan sets out which restrictions will be replaced with “measures that reflect the level of risk at that point in time.” These measures will be announced in successive steps with several weeks in between to allow for monitoring, and subject to “strict conditions to move from each step to the next.
Johnson rejected a charge put by Plaid Cymru's Liz Saville Roberts that he was governing as the prime minister for England only. According to the government’s guidance, employers can reduce the risk of infection in the workplace by limiting the number of people that any individual comes into contact with regularly, for instance by changing shift patterns and rotas and by ventilating workplaces.
