Prime Minister Boris Johnson leaving intensive care to start his recovery from the coronavirus leads many of the Good Friday papers, while discussion about lifting the lockdown also features.
The Times reports Mr Johnson is in “good spirits” but may be off work for up to a month as he deals with the personal effects of Covid-19.
The Daily Telegraph says the PM has been moved to a low-dependency ward, while the paper says the number of deaths related to Covid-19 is up to 7,978.
The Guardian reports more than 1,000 victims of the virus who have died in care homes have not been recorded in official data.
While the i carries an article about the PM’s “long recovery”, a story which also leads the Sun.
The Daily Express said the nation breathed “a giant sigh of relief” after Mr Johnson left the ICU.
Meanwhile, The Independent writes about lifting the lockdown, and how Britain could finally reopen.
The Daily Mirror calls this a “make or break” weekend, adding the military will patrol beaches over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The Daily Mail reports that Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick went to visit his parents.
And the Daily Star looks at policing, saying one force is considering grilling shoppers to make sure they are only buying essential items.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
