The government is still “a long, long, long way off” being able to lift England’s coronavirus lockdown restrictions Matt Hancock has warned.
The health secretary said case numbers are still “incredibly high”, with the NHS remaining under intense pressure.
“There is early evidence that the lockdown is starting to bring cases down but we are a long, long, long way from being low enough because the case rate was incredibly high,” he told Sky News’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme.
“You can see the pressure on the NHS – you can see it every day.”
Mr Hancock said that while he hoped schools in England could reopen by Easter, it would depend on the levels of infection in the community at that time.
