NSTworld: The British government warned on Monday it will not be lifting a nationwide lockdown anytime soon as the country remains in the grip of a Covid19 coronavirus outbreak that has claimed more than 11,000 lives.

New figures from the health ministry on Monday revealed that 11,329 people hospitalised with coronavirus have died in Britain, making it one of the worst-affected nations in the world.

“We don’t expect to make any changes to the measures currently in place at that point, and we won’t until we’re confident as we realistically can be that any such changes can be safely made,” Raab said.Johnson became the most high-profile world leader to contract the virus last month and spent a week in hospital – including three days in intensive care – before being discharged on Sunday.

Government data suggests the number of new cases is beginning to flatten, although testing is limited, as is the number of people in hospital beds.

Covid-19: Macron extends virus lockdown in France until May 11NSTworld President Emmanuel Macron on Monday extended France’s strict lockdown to combat the CoronaVirusNigeria until May 11, with a progressive relaxation of the measures planned after that if the outbreak has slowed. Why CoronaVirusNigeria? Why lockdown? Very shoddy journalism And remove ‘after that’ so it doesn’t sound so convoluted in that ridiculous long headline. Chief editor must be still sleeping lol. Notice the staggered lifting. Schools open. Restnt, cafes and bars not yet. Travel restrictions much later. Mass gatherings, too. That's wise. Let's adapt and follow strategic release.
