The UK is Still Slow to Reopen
The UK was the last one to go into the lock-down, not it is the last again to go out

Boris Johnson was one of the leaders to refuse the lockdown at first when coronavirus came to Europe. But, after falling sick and being hospitalized, Johnson decided to quarantine the country, which seemed like a good play to convince people. Now they are among the last to reopen the economy after three months of house arrest already.
Boris Johnson’s spokesman James Slack made some comments a while ago, but they are pointing to a very slow reopening of the country, which will probably weigh on the GBP, since the economy will continue to suffer from the lockdown.
