COVID news live: Boris Johnson press conference at 6pm with announcement on lockdown easing delay expected
A government source told Sky News the prime minister will dash hopes that Freedom Day will come in one week's time, on 21 June, and it will instead be postponed until 19 July. "It is one last heave," a senior source was quoted as saying after the PM met senior cabinet ministers and his scientific advisers."It is a straight race between the vaccine and the virus."
Is the lockdown extended when the death toll is only 0.04%? It's just a farce 😡
Many of these early cases are school children. We wont see many deaths until secondary passed on infections.
3 out of 66 million! Unlock the country you lunatics.
Oh wow 3 deaths this variant really is deadly
Give it a rest ScumMedia , you got what you wanted again.Better start working on a new scary variant quickly ahead of 19th of July, you can’t let that happen either
Well hopefully if deaths remain this low then we can live with this virus
Road map announcement - is that the one 'leaked' to the press days ago?
Yup. It’s still over. Unlock completely now. This is nonsense. Time for us all to assess our own risks as we do with almost everything we do in life. We need our freedoms back.
Sage right now, with 3 deaths
ImDone
Quick lets extend restrictions

Funny how cases have fallen without major lockdown measures or vaccinations. Maybe the Indian variant is less transmissible after all? JuliaHB1 Can you please stop referring to positive tests as cases. The latter infers illness and hospitalisation and that is not the case. It’s almost as if you want us to be in some sort of perpetual lockdown for ever.
