A government scientific advisor has signalled that Britons may not see the end of Chinese coronavirus restrictions in July, saying that the UK “may have to do further lockdowns this Winter”.
Monday the 21st of June was supposed to be Boris Johnson’s ‘Freedom Day’, when all lockdown restrictions would be lifted after the government’s successful vaccine programme saw 81 per cent of the adult population receive their first dose of the vaccine, with 59 per cent fully vaccinated to date.
However, last week the prime minister announced a delay of the end of restrictions by four weeks, to July 19th.
