BORIS Johnson has confirmed a four-week delay to the lifting of all restrictions in England beyond June 21. Speaking from Downing Street earlier this evening, the Prime Minister said that even though the link between hospitalisation and infection had been weakened , it had not been severed. The PM said that, with the rise in numbers of Delta variant cases, there was a real possibility that the virus could outrun the vaccine if the country moved forward with the easing of restrictions, and that thousands more deaths would ensue which could otherwise have been avoided. The announcement means limits on numbers for sports events, pubs and cinemas will remain in place until July 19.

Falling less than two-weeks since the latest government easing of lockdown restrictions and with a distinct staycation holiday boom, the town s hotels were fully-booked throughout the weekend. Tim Seward, chair of the BH Area Hospitality Association, said: Hotels were fully-booked and they were absolutely solid with 100 per-cent occupancy across all the hotels in town. If there were any hotels that had cancellations they were able to sell the rooms over again with 20-minutes to half-an-hour. We were at Air Festival levels across the town with good rates across the area as well. With the brilliant weather expected to continue well into the rest of half term, the booking-spree at the town s hotels shows no signs of slowing.
