Sunday shows round-up: Stay at home message is still ‘very important’, says Robert Jenrick

Robert Jenrick – Staying at home still ‘very important’

Sophy Ridge began this morning interviewing Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick. The Prime Minister will address the nation at 7pm tonight, updating the government’s Covid-19 strategy, and it is anticipated that he will outline a vision for the end of the lockdown. The official message will change from ‘stay at home’ to the more open-ended ‘stay alert’. Jenrick said that this did not mean the public should expect to see enormous changes in the near future:

RJ: Staying at home will still be a very important part of our message to the public. But people will also need to go to work, they’ll need to go and do essentials… and when they do that, they’ll need to be responsible… We want to give more avenues for people to get out and about so that life can be more liveable… as we move into the next phase.
