The UK government has said that the date for lockdown easing is not guaranteed, with a final decision about the status of the coronavirus lockdown set for next week. The next lockdown review will take place on Monday, June 14, with the Prime Minister expected to make an announcement about the final stage of lockdown. If the fourth stage of lifting lockdown goes ahead, it will see the removal of all legal limits on social contact in England. The final step would see the removal of all remaining limits on social contact, including the reopening of nightclubs and music venues and restrictions on weddings and other life events lifted. Larger events would also be able to resume without limited crowds. Concerns from some scientists and MPs over emerging variants have already pushed the lockdown review from the end of May to mid-June, and these worries could also affect plans to remove the remaining restrictions on June 21.
