LONDON, May 16 (Reuters) - Britain will make a decision on
June 14 about whether or not to go ahead with the final phase of
its easing of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, health minister
Matt Hancock said on Sunday.
"We'll make a final decision for the step four, which is the
biggest step on the roadmap, we'll make that final decision on
the 14th of June," Hancock said.
The last of four stages of releasing lockdown restrictions
is currently scheduled for June 21, but that date is in some
doubt due to the spread of a variant of the virus first
identified in India.
