Police in London have been struggling to keep people from breaking lockdown rules over the long weekend, as warm weather has tempted crowds of people outdoors.
Police in the eastern borough of Hackney posted a photo on Twitter of people drinking beer and wine, and eating pizza at a park, saying "sadly we’re fighting a losing battle in the parks today."
Images from Greenwich Park in the city's southeast also showed police patrolling while asking people having picnics and drinking in the sun to leave.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is scheduled on Sunday evening to present a plan for lifting the nation's lockdown. He said earlier in the week that he had hoped some restrictions could be eased on Monday.
But without ministers giving details on the record about which measures may be loosened, British media has speculated on what new freedoms they may have next week.
Meanwhile, the country’s Housing Minister Robert Jenrick spoke Sunday of a new five-tier alert system to rank the virus' threat level. Johnson is expected to announce the system when he unveils a plan this evening to ease the nation out of lockdown.
The UK is likely on level four of the alert system, Jenrick told Sky News. UK reports suggested the alert system would only initially apply to England and that the government would work with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to establish similar systems.
“At the moment, we believe the country is at four on a scale of five, with five being the most concerning,” Jenrick told Sky News. “Our aspiration is to bring that down as swiftly as possible to three.
“This will be a cautious approach.”
