Boris Johnson briefing: Key points
The PM has just finished speaking at a Downing Street press conference.
Let’s take a look at the main points:
* Further easing of restrictions which had been due to come in tomorrow in England are postponed until 15 August at the earliest – this includes the opening of casinos, bowling alleys, indoor theatres and concerts with social distancing.
* Changes to wedding celebrations to allow up to 30 guests are also postponed
* Shielding will be paused nationally from 1 August as planned
* Face covering rules will be extended to additional settings in England from 8 August, including museums. There will be a greater police presence to enforce this.
* The introduction of new restrictions in northern England is not a "return to lockdown" - but further local restrictions will be implemented as needed
* No change to work-from-home guidance from tomorrow - meaning more people will still be encouraged to go in to their workplaces. The PM promised to "come down hard” on workplaces which people do not feel are safe
* People who test positive for coronavirus will not be discharged into care homes
* New slogan from the PM: "Hands, face, space, get a test”
* Rise in infection rates in several parts of the world is not a "second wave", says Professor Chris Whitty, but if people increase the number of people they meet, the virus rate will increase "inevitably"
