joins us now from westminster outside the houses of parliament retrovirus johnson has just been speaking as we've been saying that johnson has been using these words cautiously but era vasily ouster of locked down does that mean that we're unlikely then to see nationwide restrictions for china even if the gun does pick up again. well that's the message will the government is hoping to have to avoid definitely trying to avoid is any kind of on and off for a restriction of the kind that have being seen here in the country over the past few months they've led to a huge amount of uncertainty and a massive amount of of disruption especially when it comes to children as to whether or not they can be in school or not be at school if you remember back at the start of january children were actually back in school for one day before they were then told to go back home because they were growing concerns about the south african strain of the virus so that's why the government is doing this incredibly incredibly slowly cautiously and incrementally the 1st restrictions will be easy as you mentioned th
