The UK government on Saturday said it is considering options around a planned end to lockdown on June 21 after the country recorded the highest number of daily COVID-19 cases in just over two months. The UK recorded a further 6,238 coronavirus cases on Friday as England s R number, or the rate of infection, continues to rise and the latest government numbers also show another 11 COVID-19 related deaths. Of course officials are drawing up other options but we are still expecting to be in a place to go ahead on June 21, a UK government figure told Sky News . Options under discussion are said to include retaining the wearing of face masks in certain settings and continuing the work from home advice, even as the hospitality sector opens up. However, the government maintains that there is nothing in the data to suggest ending lockdown should be delayed.
