Commuters will Be Told To Check Their Temperatures Before Traveling
Boris Johnson is sketching out a blueprint which enables Britons to go back to work by May 26 while stopping a second spike in coronavirus infections, government sources revealed last night.
A loosening of certain restrictions designed to fire up the flagging economy will be accompanied with a roll-out of revamped social distancing guidelines, particularly on public transport.
Government insiders claimed that under the plans commuters will be instructed to check their temperature before travelling into work to stop train carriages becoming contamination hotbeds.
