People in England will be able to enjoy a pint or a meal indoors, hug their loved ones and return to cinemas - but not dance at weddings - in a week's time as the PM confirmed the latest easing of the country's COVID19 lockdown
On the new rules on hugging family and friends, Mr Johnson said the country was"taking a step toward that moment when we learn to live responsibly with COVID" and"when we cease eventually to rely on detailed government edicts and make our own decisions - based on the best scientific advice - about how to protect our families and those around us".But he warned this does not mean"we can suddenly throw caution to the winds".
"So I urge you to think about the vulnerability of your loved ones - whether they have had a vaccine, one or two doses, and whether there has been time for that vaccine to take effect. "We only have to look at the very sad situation in other countries to see the lethal potential of this virus and we must continue to fight the spread of variants here in the UK," he said.
