LONDON - Britain on Sunday reported its lowest daily rise in coronavirus deaths in nearly 4 weeks as officials confirmed Prime Minister Boris Johnson had returned to Downing Street after recovering from the virus.
Johnson will resume his duties on Monday after recovering at his country residence since his release from hospital on April 12.Despite the slowdown -- which came at a weekend when the toll has often been lower -- Environment Secretary George Eustice said on Sunday that lockdown rules should remain in place."But before we consider it safe to adjust any of the current system distancing measures, we must be satisfied that we have met the 5 tests set last week.
Eustice echoed statements made by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab -- who has been deputizing for Johnson -- that the rules would "be with us for some time" and were the "new normal".The new opposition Labour party leader Keir Starmer meanwhile wrote to Johnson on Sunday asking for details of a potential lifting of restrictions.
