The UK lockdown looks set to continue at least until May as the government prepares to extend measures put in place to limit the spread of COVID-19 for another three weeks.
Stand-in leader Dominic Raab is expected to make the announcement today after chairing a COBRA meeting reviewing the latest scientific evidence in the fight against coronavirus.
It comes as Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty said the UK may be reaching the peak of the epidemic. At a Downing Street press conference on Wednesday he said that it appears the curve is flattening.
Britain will stay in COVID-19 lockdown for another three weeks until five key tests are met to avoid a devastating second coronavirus peak, Dominic Raab said tonight.
The First Secretary of State told the nation that their efforts to stay home and stop the spread of coronavirus had been working , but more time is needed to get a full grip on the crisis.
He declared this evening: “The Government has decided the current measures must remain in place for at least the next three weeks.”
And he laid out five tests that Britain must meet before the rules can be changed.

The daily press conference was given by the first secretary of state, Dominic Raab, who is standing in for the prime minister as he continues his recovery from coronavirus.
The question of how all of this ends is of course the one we’re all been asking from the beginning. The severe lockdowns in place in much of Europe are not intended as long-term plans. Their justification was to stop escalating infection rates – and to buy time for governments. But still a pressure is building for this to end – and keenly felt in Europe.

Sweden’s refusal to go into coronavirus lockdown is leading the country towards catastrophe, scientists have warned. Daily life is carrying on as normal despite the rest of Europe being in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, with pubs, schools, restaurants and cinemas all still open. Sweden has so far seen 4,947 cases of the coronavirus and 239 deaths as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The government says lockdown would lead to an economic disaster. Although the Scandinavian country’s relaxed “wait and see” approach contrasts with most of the rest of Europe the government says it has no immediate plans to change its liberal ways.
