A Norfolk virus expert has said the UK is on track to reopen further on May 17 as coronavirus admission figures plateau - but says new variants continue to be a cause of anxiety.
Paul Hunter, from UEA s Norwich Medical School, said figures are encouraging towards further easing measures but he wouldn t bet the house on it .
As of April 20, the number of coronavirus patients in Norfolk remains in single figures, with three people receiving treatment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in King s Lynn and one at the James Paget University Hospital, in Gorleston.
He told area coroner Jacqueline Devonish: My mind was to move away from everyone else.
Mr Rose interlocked elbows with Mr Reynolds, who he described as a strong gentleman , and left him with his colleague, Timothy Cator-Durrant.
The security officer said he diverted his attention to escorting Ms Bennett outside as she was very agitated .
Mr Rose, who had obtained his Security Industry Authority badge the year prior, also said Pontins policy dictates that two members of staff are required to restrain female guests.
He said: I put myself between her and the doors so she couldn t return.
When asked by Ms Devonish if Mr Reynolds was posing a significant threat, Mr Rose agreed and said there were clear signs of aggression .

Norfolk s coronavirus infection rate remains below the national average despite small increases in some areas.
The county s rate was 15.6 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days up to April 14, up slightly from 14.9 a week prior (April 7).
That compares to a national case rate of 26.8 per 100,000, down from 29.
Percentage wise, the local districts of Breckland, Great Yarmouth, Mid Suffolk and North Norfolk have all seen sharp rises, with the latter s infection rate jumping by 98pc.
But North Norfolk s rate of 9.5 cases per 100,000 people - up from 4.8 last week - is the second-lowest in the county and one of the lowest across the nation.
