Parakeets eat apples fixed to the points of a fence in Kensington Gardens in London, England, on April 9, 2020. As Britain begins what is forecast to be a warm Easter holiday weekend, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab today stressed the importance of not giving up 'social distancing' measures at a time when hopeful signs are beginning to show in the data for covid-19 coronavirus transmissions and hospitalisations. Raab, who is currently deputising for hospitalised Prime Minister Boris Johnson (who is now out of intensive care as he continues his recovery from the virus), announced today that a decision on next steps for the UK's coronavirus lockdown would not come before the end of next week. An extension of at least several more weeks is, however, widely expected. Across the UK meanwhile a total of 65,077 people have now tested positive for the novel coronavirus, with 7,978 having died.
