Brits ignoring lockdown rules

Despite pleas to stay indoors to combat the spread of coronavirus and protect the NHS, many Brits decided to instead make the most of the weekend’s warm weather. 

And officials fear lockdown measures may have to stay in place if the public continues to flout government advice to only leave home for essential reasons.

Among a number of reports of breaches, London’s Regent Park, was full of men riding bikes, and in Paddington, fitness fantatics were pictured training in a recreation ground flouting social distancing rules.
