In pictures: Social distance and empty spaces: UK life under lockdown (Photos) Following the rapid spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) throughout the world in 2020, the U.K. has been responding by implementing increasingly stringent measures over the last few weeks. Three days after ordering schools across the country to close indefinitely, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced strict social distancing measures on March 23, which were extended a furtherthree weeks on April 16. These include a total ban on public gatherings of more than two people, the prohibition of travel other than for essential work and medical reasons, and that peopleare notto leave their homes other than to carry out one form of exercise daily.
