More than 33 million people have applied for unemployment over the last seven weeks, Smithfield is reopening its Sioux Falls pant, Ruth Bader Ginsburg discharged from hospital.LONDON -- Taking a different tack than most other nations, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to extend the bulk of the country’slockdown restrictions for three weeks or so when he speaks to the nation Sunday evening.
The worry is that the U.K. lockdown, which began March 23 and has clearly reduced the transmission of the virus, will need to be extended for longer than envisioned. Johnson has voiced worries of a second spike in infections and deaths — something that health experts have said is absolutely going to happen worldwide as nations ease their lockdowns.
Throughout the crisis, the four nations of the U.K. — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — have moved in lockstep. Changes may include being able to exercise more than once a day and the reopening of garden centers.
