LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson admitted on Sunday that there was public frustration with his government's measures to ease the coronavirus lockdown following widespread criticism of the new rules, which he admitted were more complex.
The changes do not apply to people in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, whose semi-autonomous governments have not eased the lockdown. "We are trying to do something that has never had to be done before - moving the country out of a full lockdown, in a way which is safe and does not risk sacrificing all of your hard work," Mr Johnson said in the Mail on Sunday.
The government has been wrestling with how to restart the economy, devastated by the lockdown, while avoiding a second wave of infections. "The surprisingly permissive package might well be right for the south-east, given the fall in cases there. But my gut feeling told me it was too soon for the north," Mr Burnham wrote in the Observer.
