UK PM Johnson: The end of lockdown will not be a big bang, will be a slow unravelling

Remarks by UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, in parliament

• Schools will be the first to reopen
• That moment may come some time in mid-February

Johnson is largely trying to manage expectations as the UK sees a national lockdown until 15 February at the very least currently. There is plenty of talk that this could even extend all the way through to Easter, as the virus situation remains rather severe for now.
