Prime Minister Boris Johnson returns to work on Monday to the biggest dilemma of his premiership: how to lift the coronavirus lockdown that is destroying swathes of the British economy without triggering a deadly second wave of the outbreak.

“He will be back in the driving seat as we speak, getting on with the job,” said Edward Argar, a junior health minister. “He is raring to be back and he is full of energy as you would expect.” The United Kingdom is on course to be among the worst hit European states with more than 20,732 hospital deaths reported as of Saturday.
Opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, who has replaced veteran socialist Jeremy Corbyn, urged Johnson to set out when and how an economic and social lockdown might be eased - as did some Conservative Party donors. Johnson is expected to announce plans for how the lockdown could be eased as early as this week, the Daily Telegraph reported.
