Lifting of the remaining Covid curbs has been pushed back to July 19. FMTNews UK Delta Strain

Johnson is confident the delayed lockdown lifting will last no more than four weeks.

The extra time would be used to speed up Britain’s vaccination programme – already one of the world’s furthest advanced – by shortening the recommended time between doses for those aged over 40 to eight weeks from 12 weeks. The opposition Labour Party blamed the government for the delay, saying it had been too slow to close borders to travellers from India.

Yesterday’s decision was based on scientific modelling which showed that, if the reopening went ahead as planned, under some scenarios hospitalisations could match those in March last year when ministers feared the health system could be overwhelmed.
