Boris Johnson today desperately tried to play down rising fears that the June 21 'freedom day' could be ditched as ministers admitted local lockdowns are back on the cards.
The PM stressed that the plan is currently unchanged with the government sifting through emerging data about the fast-spreading strain. But he appeared to shift his language slightly by saying there is not yet 'conclusive' evidence that the roadmap will need to be altered.
He also tried to dampen concerns that vaccine hesitancy could prevent the next round of easings going ahead, pointing out that levels of uptake in the UK were very high by international standards. On a visit to a vaccine centre in London, he urged people to 'get your jab' when invited by the health service.
'We are looking at the epidemiology the whole time as it comes in and, at the moment, partly because we have built up such a wall of defences with the vaccination programme, I don't see anything conclusive at the moment to say that we need to deviate from the road map,' he said.
'But we've got to be cautious and we are keeping everything under very close observation.
'We'll know a lot more in a few days' time.'
