The newly-appointed health secretary made his first Commons statement since re-joining the cabinet on Monday night. During his statement Mr Javid told MPs he saw ‘no reason to go beyond the 19th July’. Earlier on Monday Prime Minister Boris Johnson ruled out the possibility of lifting of restrictions early and said: “We’re very likely to be in a position on July 19 to say that that really is the terminus, and we can go back to life as it was before Covid as far as possible.” Cumbria’s director of public health, Colin Cox, said the government had more ‘leeway’, as hospitalisations remain relatively low despite an upsurge in reported coronavirus cases across the country.
