England’s coronavirus restrictions could be lifted by June 21 as part of a four-stage plan announced by Boris Johnson today as he announced “the end really is in sight”.

The UK Prime Minister told MPs the approach was “cautious but also irreversible”, with the impact of the vaccination programme replacing the need for lockdown measures.
