Boris Johnson Monday 16th March 2020. On Covid measures. No lockdown but take things seriously
5 years ago Boris Johnson was still prevaricating about a COVID lockdown even though he knew, that it was rampant in London. He suggested people take ‘seriously’ advice about swerving pubs and restaurants.
Eventually a shutdown was ordered on Friday March 20th and a lockdown from March 23rd. Johnson knew people were getting ill and dying but he delayed. Eventually of course he also got ill himself..
And it’s now clear that the peak of the epidemic is coming faster in some parts of the country than in others.
And it looks as though London is now a few weeks ahead.
So, to relieve the pressure on the London health system and to slow the spread in London, it’s important that Londoners now pay special attention to what we are saying about avoiding non-essential contact, and to take particularly seriously the advice about working from home, and avoiding confined spaces such as pubs and restaurants.
