We're getting this virus under control. And this is why we can make the cautious, small, positive steps that we've been able to make today.
我们正在控制病毒。这就是为什么我们可以采取我们今天能够采取的谨慎、小而积极的步骤。

Not all scientists agree. Several government advisers warn it's too early to end the lockdown.

We still have a lot of cases here in this country. So, the number of infections that we have is about 8,000 new infections every day in England alone.

The British government says the route out of the crisis is its new "track and trace" system, quickly diagnosing cases,

then tracing and quarantining those exposed to infection. Tens of thousands of people have been recruited to operate the system.

We can't be sure that that's working effectively yet. And yet we're going ahead and making these changes you know anyway.

Visiting a newly reopened London market this week, British chancellor dismissed those fears. We do it in a safe and responsible way.
