What will the delay to England's full unlocking of Covid restrictions achieve?

The government in England is delaying the full lifting of restrictions in England by four weeks. It comes amid rising infection rates.The most obvious consequence will be that a greater number of people will have been vaccinated.

Not everyone will come forward, but if the number of vaccinations being done at the moment remains consistent it would mean more than three-quarters of adults will have had two jabs and nearly nine in 10 one jab.That is because the over-40s, who are most at risk of serious illness, will have had the chance to be fully vaccinated.

The fear was that opening up further would have allowed the virus to spread even more quickly than it is now. "I think in a few weeks we could see it slow. I certainly don't think the speed of the rises we are seeing now will continue for long, given how well the vaccines work."
