LONDON: Britain will do everything it can to avoid ordering a second national COVID-19 lockdown because it believes it will do more harm than good to the country, a minister said on Thursday .

"The judgement of the government today is that a blanket national lockdown is not appropriate, would do more harm than good," he told Times Radio. Some scientists say more drastic restrictions should be brought in but the government is battling to keep the economy open after output plunged by 20 per cent in the second quarter and public debt rose above 2 trillion pounds.
