The former governor of the Bank of England, Lord Mervyn King, has warned that lengthy coronavirus shutdown measures could result in βrebellionβ if they are enforced for too long. So what is the UKβs longterm plan?
Under the UKβs current strategy to prevent the spread of Covid-19, strict new measures have been implemented by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The new restrictions, that limit peopleβs personal movement, state that people can only leave their homes if they have a βreasonable excuseβ, including exercise, shopping for basic necessities, medical needs, and travelling to and from work if they are classed as key worker.
But what about countries that are following different strategies? International editor Gabriel Gatehouse reports on Swedenβs approach to tackling the pandemic. He spoke to Cecilia Soderberg Naucler, a virologist at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and Swedenβs chief epidemiologist Andres Tegnell.
