Johnson hints at the possibility of Britain delaying the full lifting of Covid restrictions – Roya News English

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hinted Saturday that lifting all measures to contain the coronavirus may be delayed, given the concern caused by a new outbreak of a mutant.

The "delta" mutant, which first appeared in India, led to an increase in the number of Covid-19 infections in Britain, which raised doubts about the government's ability to implement its plan to ease restrictions from June 21.

In comments he made on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Cornwall in southwest England, Johnson said the outbreak was a matter of "extremely high concern."
