changes that you're seeing in the uk and the timing? particularly with the health secretary testing positive recently, being a breakthrough case, for example? >> reporter: that's right, linsey. they'll open up fully as of tomorrow. pretty much all restrictions are going to be lifted. scientists and experts, both domestically and internationally, are saying it's just far too soon to do this because the virus still hasn't been fully contained. look, the uk is still seeing something like 53,000 new cases per day. that's a staggering 43% rise on last week alone. and they're saying that this is just too soon to do this. and if you needed any evidence for that, look at the health secretary. he has been double vaccinated. he has probably taken all the precautions that are necessary to be taken, but he still has contracted the virus. so he has to isolate.
