Coronavirus says PM blocks blockade because nation has “moment of maximum risk” – BBC News

Boris Johnson warned that the UK is facing a “maximum risk” and urged them not to lose patience with the blockades.

The prime minister was on Downing Street and returned to work there, more than 3 weeks after he was admitted to the hospital with a coronavirus infection. He said the priority is to prevent a second outbreak of the virus.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Rishi Suna has announced a new small business loan system that will support the government. He said companies will have access to £ 50,000 within 24 hours.

Concerns remain over whether to break down existing schemes and then help keep the crisis alive.
