June 21 is 'hanging in the balance' 😬
Experts warn the jab is giving people a ‘false sense of security’ as they call for the exit from lockdown to be delayed
It comes as the latest data reveals there were 60 deaths reported within 28 days of a positive coronavirus test between May 24 and 30 – an increase of 42.9% compared with the previous seven days. ‘We are at a pivotal moment in battling against the virus in the UK, and with the June 21 date signifying an end to all legal restrictions and allowing normal social mixing of people.
‘A premature ending of all legal restrictions which then resulted in a surge of infections would undermine our health service’s efforts to tackle the biggest level of backlog of care it has ever faced.Public health expert, Professor Linda Bauld, told ITV News: ‘I think June 21 is hanging in the balance, I think all of my colleagues are saying that, those of us looking at the data.’
The Sunday Times reported a government adviser said yesterday: ‘If I was to call it now, I’d say Step 4 is highly likely to be delayed.’
