The final stage of the government s roadmap out of lockdown is set to take place on 21 June and would see all legal limits on social contact removed and the opening of businesses such as nightclubs.
However there is increasing concern about the transmissibility of the Delta variant, the variant of the virus that was first detected in India. In recent days the number of recorded cases in England has been rising at a surprisingly high rate, and it is looking like hospitalisations may be following suit.
Sources told the BBC that a number of options are being considered though and that no final decision has been made yet regarding 21 June. On 14 June the government will announce its final decision on whether the final stage of easing restrictions will go ahead as planned.
