Mr Johnson said: "With every jab every day we have more evidence about these vaccines. In the days leading up to our review point on February 15, we'll be accumulating even more data helped by NHS Test and Trace so we can begin to chart a way ahead - starting, if the data allows, with the reopening of schools on March 8.

"I'll be setting out as much as we can about that roadmap forward on February 22."
