As British Prime Minister B. Johnson stated, commenting on the economic impact of the Coronavirus pandemic:

  1. The British economy has shown resilience, but difficult times lie ahead.

  2. The process of making up for economic losses will be painful and costly, but we will manage.

  3. We are entering a phase during which I hope we will be able to implement quarantine measures at the local rather than the national level.
