"The critical thing first is to get case numbers down, and then I'm hopeful... in a few weeks' time we will be able to move to a regime which will not be normal life -- let me emphasize that -- but will be somewhat more relaxed in terms of social distancing and the economy, but relying more on testing," he said.
