British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce a further relaxation in coronavirus restrictions in England later on Monday, saying people must learn to live with the virus and exercise judgement as they go about their daily lives.
Johnson is expected to move ahead with the final stage of the four-step plan out of lockdown and restore people’s freedoms when he speaks at a news conference on Monday.
Step four, which is scheduled to come into effect on July 19, will mean the removal of mask-wearing rules, the end of social distancing and the return of large-scale events.
He says that the pandemic is not over and that cases will continue to rise over the coming weeks.
The British Medical Association has expressed concern about removing all measures to curb the spread of the virus given the surge in the Delta variant.
