Boris Johnson will examine Covid stats this WEEK, Matt Hancock reveals
Mr Hancock told the BBC's Andrew Marr that the Government is “absolutely open” to delaying 21 June and “the roadmap was set up in order to take these sort of changes into account”.
"So ultimately it does make the calculation more difficult for June 21 but it doesn't change our strategy which is we all need to go and get vaccinated and that way we will break this link between the number of cases to the number of hospitalisations." She said there had been a "significant uptick" in the number of cases in the past week or two, adding: "What we need to understand is what the risks are of that setting off another wave of infection, and also how well we can do in controlling it so the data that come through in the next week are very important."The rules on social distancing after the final stage of lockdown easing have not yet been finalised, the Health Secretary suggested.
"As well as that we have four reviews into international travel, into certification and into social distancing, for instance, and we are concluding those reviews and doing that work at the same time.
