London lockdown will not happen in full, Downing Street has announced today (Thursday, March 19).
At a press conference this morning, No.10 was quick to clarify which rumoured measures in the UK’s worst-hit city in the coronavirus outbreak would NOT be happening.
The government has ruled out banning people from either entering or leaving London and has also played down reports that the capital’s extensive transport network could be shut down.
However, Sky’s Sam Coates, reporting from the lobby briefing, tweeted that additional restrictions on bars, restaurants and non-essential stores in London have not been ruled out
He wrote: “Downing Street making important clarification about what may happen in London in coming days [sic].
