British Prime Minister First Appearance In Public After Being Infected With COVID-19

After 1 month of being infected with Covid-19, this is the
first time that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has appeared in
public. He also returned to run the government today, and issued a warning
about the second wave of epidemics if he hurriedly lifts the blockade.
Speaking outside the Prime Minister's Office at 10 Downing
Street, London, today, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged
people to maintain a blockade to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
"Every day, I know that this virus brings pain and mourning to many families across the country and this is the biggest challenge the country has faced since the war," Reuters quoted the Prime Minister Johnson.
This is the British Prime Minister's first public appearance
since he was infected with Covid-19 on March 27. On April 5, he was
admitted to the hospital due to symptoms of non-remission. A day later, he
was transferred to the intensive care unit.
Since leaving the hospital on
April 12, 55-year-old Prime Minister Carrie Symonds and fiancée in the Chequers
mansion, just outside London, are recovering. He returned to London
yesterday.
He thanked all British people for complying with the
blockade order for the past month to respond to Covid-19. Johnson insisted
that Britain was about to end "the first phase of the war" and
"begin to turn around the situation".
However, he warned this
was a "maximum risk" moment and called on people not to be impatient
with the blockade.
These comments were made in the context of the British
government, scientific advisers still arguing about the time and how to
reactivate the economy between the Covid-19 pandemic.
UK is currently one of the countries hardest hit by the
Covid-19 epidemic, with more than 20,000 deaths in hospitals as of the end of
last week. Meanwhile, the blockade order lasted a month, causing the
British economy to face the risk of the deepest recession in 3 centuries.
The British government's response to Covid-19 was criticized
for its limited testing and lack of protective equipment for health workers. The
country now faces the question of how the blockade will be extended so as not
to cause a second outbreak.
