A new Covid Alert System with five levels has been created, which would influence how quickly the lockdown - which was first announced on 23 March - could be changed. Level five is the most critical, and the UK is currently ready to move from level four to three.
The third step could see some hospitality businesses and other public places reopen -"if the numbers support it" - but not earlier than 1 July. The prime minister is effectively trying to pull off the impossible. He wants to try to restart normal life, while keeping the virus at bay with limited means to do so.But the problem is that even with the extra testing that has been put in place over the past month, there are big holes in the UK's ability to suppress the virus.
We'll do what we please, thanks.
As Wales,Scotland and NI are moving at different speeds surly it is imperative we get local news during the morning programme. We all pay the same licence fee.
Psalm 68.11 The Lord gives the word, and a great army brings the good news. Psalms 103.20 Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding,obedient to his word.
So stay away from park,s got it
It’s usually mums who are ended up in trouble by starting to give kids too many detailed instructions...
Dominic Raab said it's cool mate
I want to be able to see my friends and boyfriend and give them hug.
Well it looks like the coronavirus is going to consume England 🏴 going by the confused Westminster Tories advice. 😷🏴🇪🇺 Hopefully folks will know better & StayHomeSaveLives & don’t become part of Boris Johnson’s HerdImmunity casualty list 😳

Yay more confusion.
nicoletaylorok let’s go
Which two people, though? And hasn't this always been the case? And also WHY AREN'T YOU ASKING THEM WHY THEY'RE LETTING US DIE?
Is the UK govt full of thick bstards and charlatans? Would be a laughing stock if 50k weren't dead from their shambles.

Get the bundesliga on in Grundy RazedCallum
DominicRaab thought you did well this morning answering questions from the bbc unfortunately bbc thought speaking to somebody in Manchester airport was more important. is this so people don’t get a clear view.
Our fore fathers must be turning in there graves.Who the F--k voted this lot in, it used to be lions led by donkeys now its lambs led by snakes.
presuming unmasked as well
Can we go to see our families and sit in the garden 2 metres apart?
Why does Boris get others in his team to talk each day instead of him? Nicola sturgeon delivers her conferences every day
cmyuk has secured substantial UK weekly provision for 300k German-made washable, non-permeable, anti-viral protective healthcare gowns. 1.5m weekly supplies of washable/hygienic/cottonsoft,Facemasks for adults & kids. The NHS nor UK Gov have responded. It's sorely needed
think we all robots

Really?!? That’s not what BorisJohnson said last night! He said within the same household?
That’s not true though is it DominicRaab ? You are spreading misinformation again, just like you lot always do. Herd immunity by the back door!
Really....Heroes of MK Hospital still close cLinics
The sheer incompetence is breathtaking
I am so confused with all the different information we are being told . I have took it upon myself to take full month of annual leave then unpaid leave to keep my family and be safe . Thanks Civil Service 🙄
But you can’t visit your families homes? But can mix with 1000s on a park! Makes great sense!
DominicRaab must have more common sense than those contradicting his statement this morning. So according to those people, I can’t go to a park to meet my mum & dad at the same time but they can arrange to go to the park together to meet me riddlemethat
My brain has melted from pure confusion, why say something like that, it gives people an excuse to see all their mates
Stay alert watch out for that corona 😂😂😂
I watched this on mute and it made more sense
Don't be fooled. No government is this incompetent. A deliberate strategy to blame the public when death rate soars as the economy re opens.
0chloegolding0
Their incompetence is staggering, Algeria closed its border immediately after first few case out of 37 million people only 502 unfortunately died of Covid-19 ... it’s not leadership but common sense
About as clear as......
This dick is gna tell which of my Fam I can & can't meet....& How far I should stand from them......mmmm. I'll get back to ya...😶
this_vid
How can the Government think it’s safer to meet in a park rather than your own garden? How big do they think parks are in every locality? Do you book a time slot or push through the melee to find your relatives? Typical no thought before announcements.
But you got to be 15metres apart on fishing bank 😂
No haircuts until 4th July - Who cut your hair Mr Raab
Sure this is classist in nature. Exposing the working classes of manufacturing and construction while educated, white collar workers are advised to isolate and work from home. Basically all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
karisfisherj1
2nd wave inbound
This isn't going to end well. He also mentioned for people to use 'common sense' I'm not seeing much of that tbh.
The government have said Raab should not have said that we can meet our families in parks he got it wrong!!!
For sound, safe COVID19 guidance we Trust WHO. No Trust in GOVUK BorisJohnson DominicRabb Cummings confused messages & doomed architects of Herd Immunity & incompetent delays to procuring PPEs, criminally slow Testing, Tracking & Quarantine. Covid destroys lungs No Vaccine
chloe_devall
Is absolutely right/ logical to change the message from staying at home to stay alert, since people can now go to parks and some can return to work as part of easying lockdown,therefore is not staying at home, simple! What part can't some not understand!?
TheWitchOfWales
Something mesmerising about this. Not in a good way, obviously
bethpollardxo alicecoates61 MASHANGA_S dmutarah121
Luke_Caldwell12
I also read in an article that Dominic Raab said that we can see both our parents. That's really scary because mine are dead!
It’s too late! When you need to roll out DominicRaab to clarify PM BorisJohnson then it confirms, damage has already been done. ConfusionReigns
Afitton12
So is dogging a yes or a no? Asking for a friend.
Stay alert poem.
livxwalkerr
Am i the only one who thinks this 2 metre rule is ridiculous? just leave to common sense.. avoid anyone who looks or sounds ill
As if people are going to follow this rule. 🤣
BBCBusiness Thank I will keep my distance and I will avoid park. Health is wealth
Absolute shambles .... London is going to cause an immediate rise in the R number and that affects the whole country.
I wish the Government had published a ✅ or ❌ graphic showing what was banned before and whether it is now allowed or still banned, with a brief explanation why. It would have saved a lot of debate
Government has said hes wrong
How is this being enforced?
This phrase is surely recognised as the start of an epic tragedy? 'Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair (England), where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.' .... Are we all doomed? stayingalert
drewtaylox you know what this means?
becmason26 meet me in a park yo 😂
What an absolute shit show.
This is not what the PM said i swear
Someday mr Raab will be the Prime Minister, composed politician. Open private dental clinics, where people will do a virus test and will treat teeth. Two people in the waiting room. Dentists have tests done.
Just an observation....but doesn't Dominic Rabb look and talk a lot like Alan B'Stard, the comedy MP character created by the late, great Rik Mayall🤔....i'll not go any further with any other similarities....🤭
It’s not safe to have your family visit you at home but you can have a cleaner !!!
andytaylor30 😎
bethany_goodall
So there is a virus that can kill There is no herd immunity There us no cure There is no vaccine Peopld ate still dying Yet this bunch of clowns wants us all to go back to work, chat to strangers in the park but not visit oud oemwn families coronaviruschaos
In Englandshire only
Families and leisure are the most important thing to most people so why wasn't this mentioned last night?
All gardens to be renamed small parks! 🙄
Blimey!
What if I go out with 6 mates but I’m not actually meeting all 6 - I’m meeting 2 and My mate Si is meeting the other 2 but we happen to sit in the same area 2m apart
I can’t even walk to the shop without having to dive into traffic but now we’re all going to meet up and we’ll be fine because “2 meters apart”...!!!?
Always been so how could you stop people that are observing the distance
Emilyy_priest elise_betts12 Jxdieleigh3 elise_betts12 _mxjf_ FinlayCockayne1
What a disaster this man is, and his idiotic boss.
“People”, he said. But it turns out he’s wrong. It’s “person”. Thousands of separated parents now have to choose which one of their kids to see. Hell is here.
Dominic Raab talking about common sense the f!king donkey
We know transmission is minimal outdoors and with a 2m distance transmission is negligible. It is not good for mental or physical heath to be under house arrest any longer. People need to be free, to be able to exercise and interact outdoors, while distancing.
RachaelColes11
Dominic Raab is another typical, politically biased leftie troll, pretending he doesn't understand the Government's very clear guidance to undermine Dear Leader!
Can he not just sack himself now? Please save us from these absolute muppets!!!
Yes, great level of leadership ENGLAND have, can we make it perfectly clear to all that WALES remains shut, you still cannot cross the border, keep your herd immunity second spikers, and for the ones that are still petrified of covid I'm sorry that raab and johnson dictate to u.
LeeRogers95
elena_rogers
Everyone has been doing this anyway 🤣
Do you seriously think people are going to social distance following on to what happened on Friday?
_JustHurley
Clear enough for you?
Right, so..two people who live apart, can arrange to meet up for a SD walk in the morning.. and then later that day their entire household can go and sunbathe 2m away from another household of complete strangers in the park? Makes perfect sense.
Suppose it’s good to meet family 2 meters apart in your back garden ?
people are frustrated cos of how inept the gov is enforcing lockdown rules! If rules were enforced we would be a hell of a lot closer to easing lockdown. You asking people to use common sense, it’s clear the majority don’t have this with the amount of parties during lockdown.
oops. so the government's message is clear and simple. people who claim not to understand it are being deliberately obtuse? unless they are Dominic Raab?
If Raab really does need to take coke before an interview he should at least wipe his nose before going on air.
Yes that makes perfect common sense.
If you listen to DominicRaab, you just signed yourself for wave no.2 This guy wants nothing except his political career.
My family live 2 hours away, this indicates we can meet up outside 2 meters apart? In reality assume this isn't allowed due to the travel! Unclear once again. People will make up their own rules.
ohcharleyy
I can't breathe again until someone clearly tells me how to live again. It's killing me.
He's seriously confusing things! I thought Boris's speech last night was pretty clear as we can go to parks etc but only with members of our own household. Clear enough. Now Dominic R is saying we don't have to?! I'm sticking to actual updates, too confusing otherwise!
But what if your parents are 6 feet under?
Well that should include family then at least we know they are well , have no symptoms etc , definitely a safer bet x
So can someone giving ‘scientific advise’ to the govt explain how meeting your parents separately is safer than meeting them together ?
Is this what he has got wrong and apologised for ..
Last night it was as clear as mud, now its as clear as mud on a dark night.
So they have changed this rule? last night it was only to go to the park with your own household..?
So, another member of the govt opens his mouth and causes yet further confusion. Deliberate chaos.
beth_horbury
That’s not what Boris said in his statement. He clearly states members of your own household
HollyAnnaWhite
Erm, this is wrong. Can you clarify that Raab's advice has been corrected or are you as a national broadcaster going to continue giving the public the incorrect information?
Global economies screwed ALL by eating animals This is stupidity that make us look like morons to the kids. Animalag&wetmarkets causes disease thats why so many drugs r used &millions die b4 1 animal hits a plate. END it or we wont b safe ref Dominion the documentary
Seems he changed the rules by the time he went on sky news 🤷🏻♂️. shambles
Sar_PughX
RedwoodEarth This. As you said, we're doomed.
They haven't thought this through. No cafes and restaurants are open so when everyone descends on the coast and popular hot spots where will they go to the loo, get refreshments?
I thought it was with members of your own household only x
So many mixed messages given! Talk to each other and confirm before speaking out to the public about them
Such BS. Anyone who thinks this is about the flu has their head up their a***
No no no no no. BorisJohnson said 1 Friend Not 2.
These people are crazy.
What if most of my family and friends live 2 hours away? What do I do then? Can I go and visit or what
So socially distance but go socialise......
Then changes to one person ,there clueless
Lucydudley22 ellwalshh
You can wow😳

bethaniedavies_ JordanFord84
pam30301 Thanks DominicRaab 👍🏽
BBCPolitics Looking forward to HS2mt when it opens.
For the last 6/7 weeks or so, we could of done that, but now they're saying we can, even though the infection & death rate is sky high, is this the Govts way of saying herd immunity has always been the plan but now they're admitting it, by taking it on the chin, seems like it 👍🏽
He got it wrong as bloody usual it’s only one person
alexfalcpops as long as 2m apart
Jeeeee sounds we all experiencing the feeling of deja vu! How can we forget the CONFUSION over BREXIT caused intentionally by the same incompetent individuals, which left ppl divided 2 guess & argue just 4 them to exploit the situation in their own interest!
I have had to move from East London to Mid-west Wales just before the outbreak of the virus!. Am I able to travel to East London get to my 2 children's and my own possessions?.
Clueless shambles.
It is only safe to alter the lockdown once testing is sufficient to permit tracing and tracking of the virus, breaking the lockdown before this means you are reliant on the 3 week incubation period to reveal increased cases and then deaths, by which time you are on a 2nd wave.
One thing Dominic, where did you get a haircut from? No hairdressers to open until July? All news people have had haircuts, roots done. You have a haircut i can open my hairdressers too....
How much are these PM's getting paid ffs ?
WTAF!?
joegretton link up daddy
libbypxrter
So BorisJohnson DominicRaab which is it? Basically, do anything you want and go to work, but try and stay 2 meters apart, but only if you can and your boss deems your life worth protecting?
Omg I can’t believe these people are so stupid
I can't wait till the workshy brigade are summoned to register their availability for work..They're bound to demand PPE..Perfectly..Plausible..Excuses!!
Why are people so concerned about what they can/are allowed to do? Think about what you should do, for your own safety and others around you.
Gobbledegook.
What a load of fart!! BBCBreakfast
This is going to be COMPLETELY ABUSED. I base that prediction on the fact, and yes it's been a fact in MY local area, that people already have abused to lockdown 'rules.' Public spaces are now going to be crowded with people applying their own twist to 'meet up with others.'
can someone show this to piersmorgan please
That’s not what he told Sky News. Some clarity is needed please.
please send out a correction for the Right Honourable Idiot Raab
In England. Johnson is only governing England now.
Clueless
This is never going to work, friends and family won't social distance, police can't police it because they don't know who lives with who, this is just a government who is looking at America protesting and thinking we don't want that we want to be liked, most of all MONEY! MONEY!
“Use common” sense is giving a green light to many to do as they please! And many were already!!
An idiots guide to pandemic control...
I’m not really sure what he thinks people have been doing anyway. Loads of people have been meeting family and friends on doorsteps etc staying 2m apart.....
Still not safe for us to mix with family members from other households, or to have more than 10 people at funerals, but we can apply ‘common sense’ and mix with others in the park? This is totally embarrassing.
They couldn't run a bath these lot, so many mixed messages.
Corona is going to become permanent here 🤦🏽♀️
OMG you are delusional 🤬
They’re killing us. This is herd immunity in plain sight ToryGenocide JohnsonDeathCult
RBee1980
EvangeleneMay
Boris never said anything about meeting others omg we need clarity
What is the timing between meetings? Can I meet daughter, then son in law, then granddaughter in rotation with my wife, who will all be in the park at the same time, in 2 household groups, but mixing the 2 mixed members frequently?
Oooops ..... how long till he has to say he misunderstood Boris’ message, or did i misunderstand it?
mrdanwalker back at school by June 1st, NO! that is not what PM said. Start to return FROM 1st JUNE. Media must get facts precise to avoid all this confusion coronavirus
Own household only!
My god how did this guy get into the position he is in! What a complete fanny!
This is huge! So families can meet in the park and chat?
So very confusing - this govt is a joke
The government has now turned the people of the UK into quaking, paranoid servants who seek instructions and approval for every action in their lives. It’s clear the government has had no idea through this whole event, use common sense and live, or just exist. Choose and get on
Policy being made up and delivered in real time
I can't help but feel like they are making it up as they go along now
mercedeslois 'Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as... PARKLIFE!' 🤦🏻♂️
val_isaac fancy a trip to the park 🙄🙈
why didn't he visit his relative who had a birthday over the weekend ? he would meet strangers in a park doesn't make sense.
ChrisReeve_
Johnson did not say this last night. Seriously, this government's left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing!! Absolute farce.
Im going to stick with the Scotland and Wales rules..even though Im in England...makes more sense atm
2m plucked from thin air rule? Just shut up
BethThomson
Who is going to police this? Its an absolute shambles AGAIN.
Who is going to take notice now? This government has opened the floodgates, let the lunacy begin.
BradleyKnowles1 People on these comments pretending to not understand, you aren't coming across as heroes asking the questions everyone needs to know the answers to. You're just coming across as dim.
We are back to the situation of March 21st. Will people social distance this time?
But if you do, stay alert. There maybe suspicious white vans about driven by covid-19
piersmorgan What
Dont think in my lifetime i will be at a better circus than this or find a finer clown than bojo
DominicRaab So the parks will be full again.....
2 people from different households, so not 2 families having a picnic etc, I seriously hope they have got this right and not condemned thousands more to an early grave
That’s less than what people are already doing
