We “may need to wait” to see if the planned lifting of restrictions on 21 June can go ahead, the Prime Minister has said.
Boris Johnson said that he doesn’t “see anything currently in the data which suggests we have to deviate from the roadmap.”
He stressed the importance of the intervals created in the roadmap to assess the coronavirus situation.
On 21 June, the Government hopes to move to the final stage of its plan for lifting lockdown.
Step four would see all legal limits on social contact removed. Nightclubs would be able to reopen, and restrictions on large events and performances would be lifted.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said it was “too early” to say whether whether the final lifting of restrictions will happen as planned.
Mr Hancock said in the Commons today: “We will make a formal assessment ahead of 14 June as to what step we can take on the 21st, and in that we will be both driven by the data, we will be advised on and guided by the science, and we will be fully transparent both with this House and with the public in those decisions.”
This comes after Professor Neil Ferguson, whose modelling was instrumental to the UK locking down in March 2020, said the reopening of society on 21 June “hangs in the balance.”
