Liberal Democrats back circuit-breaker lockdown to control Covid-19
It’s an extraordinary moment in the covid crisis when the govt begins ignoring SAGE & even the CMO says the tier system doesn’t go far enough.
We support a circuit breaker – otherwise the cost to lives & livelihoods as well as to jobs in our communities may be too harsh to bear.

A circuit breaker must be contingent on an overhaul of test (24 hr turnaround), trace (locally led) and isolate (incentives & support, not 10k fines) so that we can keep the virus under control once we get R down #COVID19 https://t.co/uFFgGzI6A4
