Boris Johnson slams down Keir Starmer's 'lost week' of coronavirus spread in Leicester claim

Boris Johnson slams down Keir Starmer's 'lost week' of coronavirus spread in Leicester claim. The Labour leader said the government was well aware of an outbreak of COVID-19 in parts of Leicester on June 18, he said: "Yet it was only on Monday this week (June 29) that the government introduced restrictions... so there was a lost week while the virus was spreading?" The PM was quick to point out that the government acted in Leicester exactly how they've dealt with other flare-up areas of Kirklees, Bradford and Weston-super-Mare. Boris Johnson said: "All the places where very effective Whac-A-Mole strategies have been put in place. There were particular problems in Leicester in implementing the advice and getting people to understand what was necessary to do. But let's face it we've had to act and the government has acted. He wants to know whether we'll act in future to ensure we protect the health of the entire country? And I can tell him we will. Absolutely Mr Speaker."
