LONDON—Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that pubs, restaurants, and hotels could reopen in England early next month when the social distancing rule is relaxed, easing the CCP virus lockdown that has all but shut the economy.
Johnson has been under pressure from businesses, especially in the hospitality sector, and from members of his governing Conservative Party to relax the lockdown, but until now he had resisted for fear of prompting a second wave.
