It wouldn't be a u-turn if they tightened measures at the weekend. They said their strategy was under review and may need to be tightened, backed up by legal measures - if necessary.
Yesterday was a major u-turn, because they went from a very relaxed / casual strategy, which was out way of step with the rest of Europe and Asia, to a much tougher policy, as they realised the implications and that the virus would spread much quicker than the NHS could cope with - and cause 260k deaths.
