of all restrictions next week would lead to a large resurgence in cases and hospital admissions, though just how big a wave is unclear. they suggest a four week delay in unlocking would reduce the peak in hospital admissions by a third to a half as more people will be vaccinated. the next four weeks will reduce significantly the risk of a very high peak, which could cause significant problems in terms of pressure on the nhs and all the knock on effects of that and direct deaths from covid. the hope is the increase in cases will start to fade in the coming weeks because so many people have been vaccinated. most people getting infected with delta have not been immunised and they re tending to be younger and recovering quicker. so what will covid vaccination coverage look like by the middle of next month? just over two million adults a week in the uk are receiving their second dose of covid vaccine mostly those
by being cautious now we have the chance in the next four weeks to save many thousands of lives by vaccinating millions more people. our medical editor fergus walsh has been looking at the data which led to the delay in lifting of restrictions. it is the rise of the more infectious delta variant that has led to the pause button being hit on unlocking. scientist modelling the epidemic had warned ministers that a final lifting of all restrictions next week would lead to a large resurgence in cases and hospital admissions, thoughjust how big a wave is unclear. they suggest a four week delay in unlocking would reduce the peak in hospital admissions by a third to a half as more people will be vaccinated. the next four weeks will reduce significantly the risk of a very high peak, which could cause significant problems in terms of pressure on the nhs and all the knock on

we should leave and we re going to do that. like i said they are not expecting a major surge, but as cnn has been reporting all morning, these things are very unpredictable so we re not going to stay here much longer. casey wian reporting there from seal beach along the california coast. residents having to having to sort of make some sort of preparation, i imagine, not spending any time on the coach. the beaches are closed for safety reasons, so heed that advice. do not go to the beach. our casey wian is there but he will be leaving shortly as everyone is being told the beaches are closed and they are preparing. as casey said, it could be two feet, maybe less. maybe more. and that is the danger and that is the uncertainty of a tsunami wave. you don t know. it s hard to judge how big a wave it will be and that is why you have to take such precautions and be so careful. it all started with that 8.9 magnitude quake in japan. we will take you live to japan after this.
