It's not martial law, it's supporting existing NHS / Local Authority measures.
There is of course various measures available to the government under the Civil Contingencies Bill if they do want to enforce a complete lockdown, but none of that is yet being invoked.
Most of what is being hyped up is contingency planning and not stuff that is actually happening. |
