Despite the continuing drop in infections, Matt Hancock today set out why the 'facts on the ground' mean that the coronavirus lockdown will not be lifted anytime soon.
The Health Secretary said it was 'difficult' to put a timeline on the easing of measures as the government must continue to 'monitor the facts' and that the pressure on the NHS 'remains huge'.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Jenny Harries added that 'we are not out of this by a very long way'.
