Prime Minister Boris Johnson is back at work to lead the U.K.’s efforts to tackle the coronavirus, amid calls to ease the lockdown that has brought swathes of the economy to a standstill.
It is exactly one month since Johnson went into isolation after contracting a severe case of Covid-19, which put him in intensive care and left the U.K. without its leader as the country entered the peak of the outbreak. He returned to his office at 10 Downing Street on Sunday night.
