The health ministry estimated that the reproduction "R" number in England was between 1 and 1.2, and the epidemic could be growing by as much as 3% each day.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he would exercise caution in lifting restrictions, but there was no expected delay in easing them on June 21.
"The critical thing is the impact on the number of people who end up in hospital for any given number of cases. That link has been broken by the vaccine, but it hasn't been completely severed yet, and that's one of the things that we're watching very carefully," Health Secretary Matt Hancock told Reuters news agency.

このような状況の中で、世界的なイベント“五輪“を開催するなど狂気の沙汰です。IOCも日本政府も自民党や公明党も組織委も都知事も、そして、中止を声高に叫ばないメディアも、開催した場合の全責任を負うべきです。国民は責任を取りません。税金をそれに投入することは許されません。本当に疲れる政権です。一刻も早く政権交代させるべきです。野党よシッカリせよ！
