Coronavirus Pandemic In London

A section of widened pavement, designed to provide extra capacity for pedestrians while social distancing guidelines remain in effect, on a near-deserted Oxford Street in London, England, on May 29, 2020. The UK is now in its tenth week of coronavirus lockdown, with total deaths after a positive covid-19 test now standing at 38,161, according to today's updated count from the Department of Health and Social Care. In England, a raft of eased restrictions are due to go into effect from Monday, including permission for groups of up to six people to meet outdoors. English primary schools are also due to resume for some year groups from next week, in a move that has been met with significant pushback from teachers' unions and parents.
