Everyone has a role to play in helping to control the virus by staying alert and following the rules.
This is how we can continue to save lives as we start to recover from coronavirus.

As we start to recover from #coronavirus, we all need to play our part by following the rules.
This is how to #StayAlert ⬇️

⬇️ THREAD ⬇️
To chart our progress and to avoid going back to square one, we are establishing a new COVID Alert System run by a new Joint Biosecurity Centre.
That COVID Alert Level will be determined primarily by R and the number of coronavirus cases. #StayAlert
4
There will be five alert levels.
Level One means the disease is no longer present in the UK.
Level Five is the most critical – the kind of situation we could have had if the NHS had been overwhelmed. #StayAlert

Step 1:
We said that you should work from home if you can, and only go to work if you must.
We now need to stress that anyone who can’t work from home, for instance those in construction or manufacturing, should be actively encouraged to go to work. #StayAlert
6
So work from home if you can, but you should go to work if you can’t work from home.
To ensure you are safe at work we have been working to establish new guidance for employers to make workplaces COVID-secure. #StayAlert
7
And from this Wednesday, we want to encourage people to take more and even unlimited amounts of outdoor exercise.
You can sit in the sun in your local park, you can drive to other destinations, you can even play sports but only with members of your own household. #StayAlert

Step 3:
At the earliest by July - subject to these conditions and further scientific advice; if and only if the numbers support it we will hope to re-open at least some of the hospitality industry and other public places, if they are safe and enforce social distancing #StayAlert
9
Step 2:
At the earliest, by June 1 – after half term – we believe we may be in a position to begin the phased reopening of shops and to get primary pupils back into schools, in stages, beginning with reception, Year 1 and Year 6. #StayAlert
10
If we as a nation begin to fulfil the conditions I have set out, then in the next few weeks and months we may be able to go further.
We are driven by the science, the data and public health.
It depends on all of us – the entire country – to #StayAlert to keep the R down.
11
Though the UK will be changed by this experience, I believe we can be stronger and better than ever before.
More resilient, more innovative, more economically dynamic, but also more generous and more sharing.
But for now we must #StayAlert, control the virus and save lives.
12
When I think of the millions of everyday acts of kindness and thoughtfulness that are being performed across this country, and that have helped to get us through this first phase, I know that we can use this plan to get us through the next. #StayAlert

We will come back from this. And though the United Kingdom will be changed by this experience, I believe we can be stronger and better than ever before. #StayAlert

We can help control the virus if we all stay alert.

There could be no greater mistake than to jeopardise everything we have striven to achieve by proceeding too far and too fast.
We must all continue to #StayAlert, so that we can control the virus and save lives.
