Tuesday, 26 May 2020 08:57 AM MYTLONDON, May 26 — Britain will reopen thousands of high street shops, department stores and shopping centres next month, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said yesterday, setting out a timetable for businesses as part of moves to ease the coronavirus lockdown.

Johnson is keen to restart an economy which has been all but shut down since Britain entered a lockdown to try to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus, but also fears a second peak of infection if measures are eased too quickly. The government said shops selling clothes, shoes, toys, furniture, books, and electronics, plus tailors, auction houses, photography studios, and indoor markets, would be expected to be able to reopen from June 15, giving them three weeks to prepare.
