Boris Johnson has warned that it is “still early days” to start talking about opening up society, as reports suggested UK pubs could reopen in May.

The British prime minister has committed to setting out a “road map” later this month for easing restrictions as he faces pressure from Conservative MPs to relax the current lockdown once the most vulnerable have been vaccinated.
