(Alliance News) - There is a "good chance" the one-metre plus rule for social distancing can be ditched next month, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Monday.
The final decision on whether the change can be brought in from June 21 will depend on the data, the Johnson added.
UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock, meanwhile, expressed certainty over a "great British summer" ahead as he confirmed that a total of 50 million Covid-19 jabs have been given out across the UK.
Johnson said he feels like the next stage of reopening on May 17 – which covers indoor hospitality, entertainment and possibly foreign travel – "is going to be good".
