Boris Johnson's lockdown release condemned as divisive, confusing and vague
Coronavirus lockdown stays in place but more outdoor activity will be allowed in EnglandRowena Mason Deputy political editor
Boris Johnson urged the country to take its first tentative steps out of lockdown this week in an address to the nation that was immediately condemned as being divisive, confusing and vague.
In a speech from Downing Street, Johnson said if the circumstances were right, schools in England and some shops might be able to open next month, and the government was “actively encouraging” people to return to work if they cannot do so from home.
But he stressed that this was “not the time simply to end the lockdown” and that he intended to take a cautious approach guided by the science, otherwise a second deadly wave of the “devilish” virus would take hold.

About a dozen people were pictured walking through the streets of Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday brandishing flags and weapons while imploring the state to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic. The state has an open-carry law that allows residents to brandish guns.
North Carolina was already on Phase One of its reopening strategy, which modified the stay-at-home order to allow more businesses to run and people to take some nonessential trips.

Another major international airline has gone bust in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Colombian airline Avianca (AVH) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US Southern District of New York on Sunday, blaming its collapse on the "unforeseeable impact of the Covid-19 pandemic," according to a company statement.
Avianca, which was founded in 1919, claims to be the world's second-oldest continuously running airline. As of the end of last year, it was the third-largest airline in Latin America based on market share, after Chile's LATAM Airlines (LTM) and Brazil's GOL Linhas Aéreas (GOL), according to Euromonitor.
