According to reports, Johnson said the massive screening program will help destroy the chain of virus infection and identify asymptomatic cases. "Our vaccine plan is progressing well, and as we carefully loosen epidemic prevention restrictions according to the roadmap, regular quick screening has become more important to ensure that those efforts are not wasted."
Senior Health official Edward Aga said that quick screening sets can be sent to homes or companies, or collected at pharmacies or screening centers.
reported that those who test positive need to be isolated at home and can then arrange for the second PCR screening. Aga said he is confident people will be quarantined.
However, some critics believe that this plan may waste too much money.
On the same day, Johnson announced that starting from April 12, non-essential retail stores in England can resume business, and barber shops, libraries, community centers, zoos, restaurants and bars will also resume business or reopen.
But people are still not allowed to travel abroad. The UK's " Financial Times " said Johnson is not expected to set a specific schedule for cross-border travel. According to the current plan, cross-border travel will not resume as early as May 17.
Scotland , Welsh , and Northern Ireland are also relaxing the strict lockdown orders implemented at the beginning of the year at the same pace.
