Business bosses and MPs call for swift exit from lockdown

BUSINESS bosses and MPs have called for a further easing of lockdown to help kick-start the economy as experts say the decline of coronavirus is 'speeding up'.

Professor Carl Heneghan, director of the centre for evidence-based medicine at Oxford University, said the rate at which the virus was disappearing in the UK appeared to be "speeding up". The retail sector also announced a record 18 per cent drop in sales during April as footfall was all but wiped out by the lockdown on the nation's high streets.to takeaway customers but politicians have said owners need more help to get back on their feet.

Former Chancellor George Osborne told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme the government "needs to start reopening our economy" and called for "big, bold ambitious plans" to do so. While the midlands saw a lower peak with 185 deaths on April 8, its daily total - which is also in decline - has remained above the capital's since April 23, according to data from NHS England.
