Boris Johnson expected to announce delay to easing lockdown measures planned for 21st June

Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce shortly a delay in the easing of lockdown measures that had been planned for June 21.

Mr Johnson is concerned by a third wave of Covid-19 infections and is blaming that as the reason saying the delay will allow more people to be vaccinated.

He is due to give a press conference from No10 Downing Street at 7pm Malta time.

There has been no indication on whether this will effect travel to countries on the so-called “Traffic light” system.
