Delay to full lifting of lockdown

Some changes to England's Covid-19 restrictions took effect earlier today - but it's not the so-called 'freedom day' the country had been hoping for.

The full lifting of the English lockdown was delayed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson last week, due to concerns over the Delta variant.

Government made the decision to facilitate the vaccination of as much of the public, as possible.

From today, there is no longer a 30-person limit at weddings, with changes also being been made to care home visits.
