Socially-distanced barbecues permitted in England, says PM Johnson

(Reuters) – Prime Minister Boris Johnson said people in England could have barbecues under the slightly relaxed lockdown conditions he announced on Thursday.

“You could have meetings of families in a garden, you could even have a barbecue provided you did it in a socially distanced way, provided everybody washes their hands, provided everybody exercises common sense,” he told reporters.
