With over 31,500 deaths from Covid-19, UK plans to ease lockdown restrictions with 'stay at home' slogan replaced with controversial 'stay alert'
The government's decision to replace its flagship"stay at home" slogan with"stay alert" drew criticism from opposition parties who argued that PM Johnson's new message is too ambiguous.
The government's decision to replace its flagship "stay at home" slogan drew criticism from opposition parties who argued that "stay alert" – used by Johnson in a Twitter message ahead of a televised address at 1800 GMT – is too ambiguous. His message was published alongside a new government poster which listed rules including "stay at home as much as possible", "limit contact with other people" and "keep your distance if you go out".
Britain has reported 31,587 deaths from Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, the second-highest death toll in the world after the United States, and some 215,260 confirmed infections. Johnson will detail a system ranging from "green" at level 1 to "red" at level 5 that will allow the government to flag coronavirus risks in different parts of England and to increase restrictions where necessary.
