Last night Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the closure of non-essential shops and schools for all but the children of key workers would be reviewed in two weeks' time. However, a Government document published this evening says that 'Restrictions will be put in place pending a review from July 18', Leicester Mercury reported. Mr Hancock said the lockdown would remain in place for as long as was needed to control infection. The Health Secretary said: “We will monitor closely adherence to social distancing rules and will take further steps if that is what’s necessary. Schools will close from Thursday 2 July except to vulnerable children and children of key workers.
