Boris Johnson has told MPs he is “confident” that the government will have a “world beating” system to test, track and trace people with coronavirus infection by June 1st.
He was responding to criticism from Labour’s leader Sir Keir Starmer who said the lack of effective tracing of infected people had left a “huge hole in our defences”. The Labour leader compared the UK death toll to places with intensive test and tracing such as Germany and South Korea, where deaths are far lower.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson had a heated Prime Minister’s Questions with Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer, as the opposition leader probed him on coronavirus testing in care homes.
Speaking during Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Johnson said that the expanded team of call centre workers and tracers would be ready by June 1 and would able to handle 10,000 new Covid-19 cases a day.
he announcement came after Sir Keir Starmer claimed that the decision to abandon the original contact tracing scheme nearly 10 weeks ago had left a “huge hole in our defences”.

Covid alert levels system unveiled.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s speech on his roadmap for lockdown measures in England. He explains changes to lockdown measures and launches a threat level alert system.
BORIS JOHNSON GIVES COVID-19 UPDATE: Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks from Downing Street to address the state of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. Johnson is expected to reveal a ‘roadmap’ for how to ‘unlock the various parts of the UK economy,’ as the nation has been under a lockdown order for seven weeks. Though hesitant to ease any major social distancing guidelines, Johnson is hoping to find a way to restart some of the economy, let people travel for work, and have students return to school safely. Part of this plan would require people to wear facemasks in public to give people ‘confidence that they can go back to work.’ There are 220,500 coronavirus cases throughout the UK and almost 32,00 people have died— more than any other country in Europe.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled new coronavirus lockdown rules in England, including a controversial “stay alert” slogan. His approach is on par with other European countries, like Italy or Spain. Elizabeth Palmer reports.
The prime minister has outlined measures to start a gradual easing of the lockdown in England, while warning of the danger of a second surge of the pandemic. In a television address Boris Johnson said it was the right time to “update” the government’s message in England, from “stay at home” to “stay alert”.
But Labour warned that the new message lacked clarity. And the “stay at home” message is not being changed in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
The Prime Minister’s plan urges anyone who can’t work from home to return to work, but to avoid using public transport if possible.
United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson has addressed the nation, providing new guidance on dealing with the coronavirus lockdown.
The UK has recorded nearly 32,000 deaths, the most in Europe and the second-highest pandemic toll worldwide.

Kevin Craig, the chief executive officer of Political Lobbying and Media Relations Ltd (PLMR), a political communications agency in the UK, talks to Al Jazeera.

Boris Johnson revealed that lockdown measures could change on Monday – as he faced up against Labour boss Sir Keir Starmer at PMQs for the first time.
The PM will address the nation on Sunday with a roadmap for how to tweak the current lockdown measures, some of which may come into effect the very next day.
The PM will lay out how he hopes to get Britain back to work and school once again, giving hope to millions of people that they could see restrictions lifted.
And he admitted today that some tweaks may come into effect on Monday, though no huge plans are on the cards.
The British prime minister said his doctors were preparing if things went “badly wrong.”
Boris Johnson says he can confirm “for the first time we are past the peak of this disease and on the downward slope”.
The PM says the UK will beat the disease by “growing resolve and ingenuity”, including by working on a vaccine.
He promises that next week the government will release a “comprehensive plan… on how we can get the economy moving, how we can get children back to school and how we can travel to work and make life in the workplace safer”.
He says the plan will be based on “how we can continue to suppress disease and at same time restart the economy”.

Boris Johnson has said the UK is “beginning to turn the tide” against the coronavirus pandemic but insisted the lockdown must go on to avoid a potentially devastating “second peak” of infections.
The Prime Minister made a statement outside Number 10 on his return to Westminster after recovering from a serious bout of Covid-19.
Mr Johnson – who is described as “raring to go” after a three-week absence from regular duties – addressed the public before leading a meeting of the “war cabinet” to thrash out the country’s next steps in tackling the crisis. He vowed to use the “maximum possible transparency” with the British people in sharing his calculations for lifting measures.
