K. Government has released a report detailing how it plans to lead the country out of the pandemic changes this week include removing limits on outdoor exercise and encouraging certain sectors to go back to work Prime MinisterBoris Johnson says the recovery will be long and its too early for drastic changes. Step one in moving towards a coded alert level 38 shift in emphasis that we can begin this week. Anyone who cannot work from home should be actively encouraged to go to work in sectors that are allowed to be open should indeed be open but subject subject to social distancing these include Food Production construction manufacturing the just 6 distribution Scientific Research and to support this and to explain this again were publishing guidance for businesses on how to make these workplaces safe coded secure scotlands 1st minister Nicola Sturgeon as warning that things will have to move at a different pace there. If we take if it off the brake too soon the real danger is that we will end up in this lockdown for longer and worst of all we will lose many more people along the way none of his want that so please be patient and please try not to get distracted by messages from other parts of the u. K. All governments across the u. K. Are trying to do the right thing and all of us have a responsibility to take the steps we think or rate the rate so please if you live in scotland abate by the law that applies here and full Scottish Government guidelines ok lets get more on this from paul brennan whos joining us live from london Boris Johnsons been talking to politicians in westminster just behind her you are there paul. Was he any clearer about what this plan was given the fact that on sunday when you and i were talking about this there was at the time a certain amount of confusion about what the intention was. I mean there are still some areas of vagueness but the document that was published by the government this afternoon monday afternoon has helped to flesh out the governments strategy its 50 pages long and covers a wide range of areas theres some sweeteners there theres d a lifting of the restriction on how far you can drive for example the government say you can drive as far as you like to go and get some exercise and you dont have to only exercise for one hour a day anymore you can exercise you know for the whole day if you wish but that said we had the clips from Boris Johnson and from nicholas sturgeon the scottish 1st minister there are still differences of political opinion and scientific opinion as far as the strategy in england goes and thats what Boris Johnson was concentrating on this document does lay out some really interesting things 1st of all the public members of the public are to be encouraged to wear face coverings when they go on public transport if they have to when theyre in enclosed public spaces where social distancing cant be maintained he also spoke in the news clip that we just played about. Level 3 and that refers to a new body joint bio Security Center which is being set up soon look at the evidence look at the data and establish where the infection is and what stage the infection is how virulent the infection is on a regional even local basis and if they see local spikes of infectiousness they will take local action in order to combat it but there are questions for example about how soon people can return to work its not just employees who want to can just turn up it needs employer does to actually open up their workplaces again and a lot of that depends on guidelines which wont be published until later this week at the earliest bowl of course this is all happening while the figures in the u. K. Are still high and the government has still been facing criticism for its initial reaction to the spread of the virus on the supply of personal Protection Equipment and so on so the plan that has been unveiled doesnt really address many of those concerns if im right. In many ways the government has put its hands up to what it doesnt know i mean one of the sentences that jumped out at me from the for the report was we cannot predict with absolute certainty what the impact of lifting these restrictions will be so its not just a step change in relation to actually laying out a strategy moving forward its also an acceptance that this virus in many ways is a new challenge that we havent seen before and the responses to it are going to have to be flexible and not necessarily set in stone so i think there was a there was a step change that the leader of the opposition new labor leader secure starmer said that what the get what the country needed now was clarity and leadership but he did acknowledge the difficulties that there are in setting out a step a way forward in all of this so there is goodwill i think on all sides despite political and as a scientific differences paul thanks very much indeed.
