The British government wants to slowly and cautiously restart the economy, housing minister in the Uk Robert Jenrick said ahead of a televised address from the prime minister to set out plans to begin easing the coronavirus lockdown set aside measures and guidelines

It has been nearly seven weeks since Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked Britons to stay at home to help prevent the spread of the virus, all but shutting down the economy.

"The message of staying at home now needs to be updated, we need to have a broader message because we want to slowly and cautiously restart the economy and the country," Jenrick told Sky News.

Jenrick said the easing of the lockdown would be conditional on keeping the spread of the virus under control, and if the rate of infection begins to increase in some areas, more stringent measures could be re-introduced to ensure no mortalities or no harm is exposed to the unsuspecting civilians.
