Indian variant cases rise 240pc in a week as PM entreated to rethink June 21 reopening

Boris Johnson has been advised by a public health specialist to maintain restrictions in place "for a few extra weeks" to "stop us going backwards" into some other lockdown.


This warning comes amid new Public Health England (PHE) figures displaying that cases of the Delta variant have risen with the aid of 240pc in a week.


The new PHE statistics suggests that almost 30,000 extra cases of the Indian coronavirus variant have been proven in the UK in the remaining week.


Jim McManus, the vice-president of the Association of Directors of Public Health, has stated that the present day restrictions ought to be kept going four four extra weeks, and that if we "invest that little bit of time to maintain us going forwards, it will end us going backwards".


He instructed BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the "uneven and rapid" spread of the new more-transmissible Delta variant means that the Prime Minister must extend the planned June 21 reopening.


Mr McManus said: "Covid is not going to disappear on the twenty first of June and lifting all measures as early as the twenty first dangers reversing the massive development we have made."
