UK UNLOCKING UPDATE (MONDAY)

UK MPs will be updated later (Monday) on whether remaining covid-19 restrictions can be lifted from the English economy.

Newly-appointed Health Secretary Sajid Javid will update the Commons on whether England is still on track to fully reopen on July 19th.

He's expected to say an earlier easing for July 5th will not take place.

Covid cases are up nearly 60% week-on-week in the UK, but hospitalisations and deaths remain low due to vaccinations.

Cabinet minister Robert Buckland says the July 19th target looks doable.

IN: "It's right...
OUT: ...everybody."
