With Johnson reluctant to repeat a national lockdown that would further hurt a struggling economy, the government is trying to contain a surge in cases, as well as growing anger, in parts of northern and central England.Robert Jenrick, Britain's housing minister, refused on Sunday to detail the measures Johnson would announce, but suggested that more work would be done with local leaders.
"In addition to the basic simple rules that apply to the whole country, we are designing a framework for those places for where the virus is very strong," Jenrick told Sky News. "We want the strongest possible working relationship now between central government and local government," he said,"So it's right that we take action in those communities and design the measures in conjunction with people who know those places best."
