Considerations to lift lockdown measures will not be made until coronavirus deaths begin falling which government sources say is unlikely to be for another three weeks.
The peak in terms of new coronavirus infections in the UK is expected to be Easter Sunday. It is likely that the death toll will hit its highest point three weeks after that.
At this point, government officials will consider when tight social distancing rules can be lifted. “They will only consider easing measures once deaths start to go down.
We think that is three weeks away," a Government source told The Sun. They said that school re-openings were likely to be the first step towards normality.
