UK’s Johnson to unveil road map for exiting virus lockdown

LONDON (AP) — The British government has replaced its “stay at home” coronavirus slogan with a new “stay alert” message. The move was met with widespread criticism ahead of a speech Sunday in which Prime Minister Boris Johnson will lay out the stages for lifting the country’s lockdown. The government has sought to douse speculation that the changes will amount to much, not least because the U.K. is still recording relatively high daily coronavirus-related deaths. The lockdown, in place since March 23, has clearly reduced the transmission of the virus and produced a steady decline in the daily death toll. But Johnson has voiced worries of a second spike. The modest changes anticipated include easing time limits on exercise and reopening garden centers.
