‘Freedom Day’ for England pushed back a month to July 19

LA Times  

Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed Monday that the next planned relaxation of coronavirus rules in England will be delayed because of the spread of the Delta variant. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed Monday that the next planned relaxation of coronavirus restrictions in England will be delayed by four weeks, until July 19, a decision he said will save thousands of lives as the government speeds up its vaccination drive. “Now is the time to ease off the accelerator, because by being cautious now we have the chance in the next four weeks to save many thousands of lives by vaccinating millions more people.” He said that by July 19, two-thirds of the adult population will have been double-vaccinated, including everyone over the age of 50, and that everyone over the age of 18 will have been offered a jab, earlier than the previous target of the month’s end. New analysis Monday from Public Health England showed that two doses of the main vaccines in Britain’s rollout are highly effective against hospitalization from the Delta variant, which was first identified in India. “At best they’re operating with reduced capacity hitting revenues, and at worst, some aren’t open at all.” When Johnson first outlined the government’s four-stage plan for lifting the lockdown in England in February, he set June 21 as the earliest date by which restrictions on people gathering would be lifted.
