UK PM Johnson: Not certain about a V-shaped economic recovery
|"I hope we will have as V-shaped an economic recovery as possible but we cannot be certain," British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday, per Reuters.
"As we stamp out local outbreaks of COVID, I think we need to be stricter about people wearing face coverings in confined spaces," Johnson added. "I don't think we will ask people to wear face coverings all the time."
