Ministers should not wobble on easing Covid restrictions in two weeks, Sir John Bell saysNo10 should not 'wobble' on easing Covid restrictions on July 19 because the vaccines are working well, a top Government adviser has said. No10 said it expects up to 50,000 cases a day by July 19 Freedom Day and potentially 100,000 daily cases in August. Daily hospital admissions also reached a four-month high, up by 50 per cent in a week to their highest level since March. Covid deaths also jumped their highest level since the end of April, increasing 20.3 per cent in a week. He claimed delaying lockdown beyond July 19 will not reduce the number of Covid deaths and could potentially lead to a worse peak in winter.
