The UK's roadmap out of covid-19 lockdown remains on track for now, according to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
However, the government says it can't rule out a delay or changes to plans to remove almost all restrictions on the economy from June 21st.
The spread of a variant first discovered in India has raised concerns lockdown easing could be blown off course.
This despite the fact 70% of the UK's adult population has received the first dose of a vaccine.
Boris Johnson says the government should know more about the India variant's dangers within days.
