New UK health secretary eager to lift restrictions

The United Kingdom’s new Health Secretary Sajid Javid says he sees no reason to go beyond July 19 for lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions. The number of infections in the UK is rising quickly with Delta variant cases but the success of the vaccination program means the number of people in hospital with the virus is still low. Mr Javid said it is his “absolute priority” to see life go back to normal on July 19 but said no date came without risk. Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
