- Downing Street says the latest figures are ‘encouraging’ but the impact of 19 July unlocking not yet reflected
- no 10 cautious over declaring Covid turning point despite fall in cases
Downing Street stops short of declaring a turning point despite the huge fall in the Covid case says an article in The Guardian.
Turning point
Downing Street and scientists remained cautious about declaring a turning point in the outbreak on Monday night despite a huge drop in Covid case numbers for the sixth day in a row.
Drop in covid cases
No 10 said it was “encouraging” that infections had fallen to their lowest level in three weeks at 24,950 confirmed cases, with Boris Johnson taking the decision to allow more double-vaccinated key workers to avoid isolation with a daily testing program.
Not yet reflected
But the prime minister’s official spokesman said he still believed the UK was “not out of the woods yet” and highlighted the fact that the full impact of the 19 July unlocking has not yet been reflected in case numbers.
