Responding to today’s press conference, Acting Leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey said: “It’s welcome to see the Prime Minister back at work and to know we are moving past the peak. Millions of people have made that happen with their unbelievable efforts to save lives during this difficult period.
“The next step out of this crisis must be a strategy of test, trace and isolate on a huge scale and it’s worrying that the UK is still far behind other countries on testing rates.
“Special efforts to protect care home residents and staff must be scaled up faster too, as the support for these vulnerable people and these amazing workers has just been far too slow.”
