We all have to play our part in making this work.

I have published the key details on my blog 1/ guyopperman.blogspot.com/2020/05/corona…

After 6 weeks of lockdown. the PM @BorisJohnson gave a TV address, and @10DowningStreet published a detailed 60 page plan outlining our #COVID19 recovery strategy
The full plan is here 2/: gov.uk/government/pub…

From Wednesday, you can now:
🧔↔️👩 Meet one other person from a different household outdoors - staying 2m apart.
🏃‍♀️ Exercise outdoors as often as you wish.
🎾 Use outdoor sports facilities with members of your household or one other person.
🌱 Go to a garden centre 3/

👷 If you can't work from home, you should go to work.

But stay 2m apart whenever you are out, + stay home if you or anybody in your household has #Coronavirus symptoms.

Britain🇬🇧 will get through this, but we all have to play our part by staying alert. 4/ #StayAlertSaveLives
