Boris Johnson hails falling infection rates in UK, but warns of third Covid wave from Europe

The new restrictions will see people able to meet outside in groups of six and outdoor leisure centres will fully reopen.

Speaking at a UK government press conference, Mr Johnson also warned that the new easing of restrictions will see "more infections and unavoidably more hospitalizations and sadly, more deaths".

A deal has also been reached with pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline to manufacture 60 million doses of its Novavax COVID vaccine in the UK, the prime minister confirmed.

How about moving the camera to the slide the man is talking about.

Should Johnson not stand in front of 30 flags? He forgot to mention one of the highest death rates, because he mishandled the pandemic.

[bettythomas]

I think he means 4th wave🤔 & not 3rd.

Don’t let any travellers from the EU come in apart from lorry drivers, with testing.

Some jobs you can get away with winging it. But this is painful viewing. He's inept. Out of his depth.

Build national resistance by going outside? Not sure that's a thing Boris...
