UK’s Johnson Reveals Plans to Ease Lockdowns

Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday said that the United Kingdom is in its final steps towards easing lockdown measures.

A decision is expected to be taken on July 12, with the Freedom Day, on which the long-term plan to ease restrictions will occur could take place on July 19, from September 4.

Johnson also noted that the novel coronavirus will become a new normal, as the world learns to live with it just like the flu.

“If we can’t reopen our society in the next few weeks when we will be helped by the arrival of summer and the school holidays, we must ask ourselves ‘when will we be able to reopen?”

“It has grown ever clearer that these vaccines are indeed successful with the majority of those admitted to hospital unvaccinated.”
