Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the launch of a new slogan as Britain battles the COVID-19 pandemic, asking the public to 'stay alert' rather than 'stay at home'.
The U.K. communities secretary has defended changing the government's"stay at home" message during the COVID-19 lockdown to"stay alert", despite a growing backlash from opposition parties.
However, Robert Jenrick appeared on the BBC's Andrew Marr show to claim that"it was the right moment to update and to broaden the message". Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said:"The Sunday papers is the first I've seen of the PM's new slogan. It is of course for him to decide what's most appropriate for England, but given the critical point we are at in tackling the virus,"Stay Home Save Lives" remains my clear message to Scotland at this stage.
