The British Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said it is “quite unbelievable” that some people are still breaking the UK’s lockdown laws by going outside unnecessarily.
Hancock said sunbathing is “against the rules,” as he urged people not to leave their homes to enjoy the UK’s spell of warm weather.
Britain has banned people from going outside apart from for four essential reasons, which include one form of exercise a day.
Hancock says the social distancing restrictions are necessary to slow the spread of the virus, and the decision to relax them “does depend very directly on how people behave.”
Hancock also welcomed Queen Elizabeth II’s rare televised speech to the nation, due to air later on Sunday evening.
“I hope that Her Majesty will lift our spirits and thank everybody who is doing the right thing,” he said.
