British PM Boris Johnson was holding his first face-to-face cabinet meeting of top ministers since March 17 on Tuesday. The meetings were earlier held via video conference.

The weekly cabinet meeting inside Johnson’s Downing Street office was ditched when the coronavirus crisis threatened to run out of control. Johnson, his health minister and other top officials all caught the virus early in the pandemic.

Supplied with hand sanitizer, ministers were asked to attend a socially-distanced meeting in a larger room inside the Foreign Office rather than the traditional cabinet room in Downing Street, Reuters said.

Johnson has pushed ahead with easing the lockdown, lifting advice from next month to avoid public transport, while encouraging workers to use alternative means where possible.
