A spokesman for the Prime Minister has today confirmed a review of lockdown measures in England will happen “on February 15th”.
“That will obviously take into account all the latest evidence and data that we’ll look at in the run-up to the 15th. Then we will set out what happens post the 15th” they said.
This announcement comes after Boris Johnson earlier hinted that some restrictions could be lifted before that date saying: “The one to four groups are going to be vaccinated by 15th February, before then we will be looking at the potential of relaxing some measures.”
“I do think now this massive achievement has been made of rolling out this vaccination programme, I think people want to see us making sure we don’t throw that away by having a premature relaxation and then another big surge of infection,” he said.
