Details to be out soon
Legal lockdown restrictions are due to be removed on July 19 under the government’s roadmap and Prime Minister Boris Johnson will set out details about the final stage of easing in England in the coming days, Jenrick said.
“We’re going to have to ensure that every adult gets double vaccinated because that is the key to keeping the virus under control as we move into the autumn and the winter.”
