The centre for disease control of the United Kingdom has reported 27,334 tested positive of the deadly Corona virus and a further 9 deaths on Monday.
Separate figures published by the Office for National Statistics show there have been 153,000 deaths registered in the UK where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate.
Deaths have remained relatively flat for weeks, as older and highly vulnerable Britons were among the first to receive jabs to protect them against Covid.
According to the communities Secretary Robert Jenrick, he said “It does look as if, thanks to the success of the vaccine programme, that we now have the scope to roll back those restrictions and return to normality as far as possible.
“Although cases were rising, they had not translated into “serious illness and death”, allowing the Government to be “positive” about unlocking on July 19.”
The latest figures were revealed as a senior Government minister said life in England will “return to normality as far as possible” after July 19 as the country moves into the “final furlong” of coronavirus restrictions.
An official announcement will be made at 5pm.
