Covid, London postpones lifting restrictions

The postponement beyond June 21 of the revocation of the anti Coronavirus restrictions in the United Kingdom has been formalized: the BBC reports, citing sources from the London executive according to which the decision was signed by leading members of the government. The rules currently in force, according to what is learned, will remain valid for another four weeks from that date. The decision implies among other things that nightclubs will remain closed and that people will be encouraged to continue working remotely where possible, the UK broadcaster said. The postponement will be announced and illustrated with a press conference the same day by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The extension of the restrictions will be the subject of a vote in the House of Commons.
