High Barnet and Hadley The worst-hit part of the borough was Hendon Central, which recorded 12 new cases of the virus. Schools opened their doors to all pupils on March 8 in the first stage of the Government’s “roadmap” out of lockdown. Prime Minister Boris Johnson last week warned this could have an impact on the spread of the virus. The next stage of the lockdown lifting is due to take place on March 29. It will see the end of the “stay at home” rule, outdoor socialising allowed between two households following the “rule of six”, and outdoor sports facilities able to reopen.
