Speaking at a Downing Street press conference, Mr Raab said people might be wondering when restrictions would be lifted, with a sunny bank holiday weekend approaching.
"Thank you for your sacrifice, but also, we're not done yet," he said.
"We must keep going."
The lockdown measures will be in place until at least the end of next week, he said.
