	Covid: What's the roadmap for lifting lockdown? Some Covid slot xo restrictions in England will stay in place for now, the government has confirmed. It had hoped to "remove all legal limits on social contact" from 21 June. That's been put back until 19 July - although a review will take place in two weeks. What's been announced? The delay is because of concerns over the Delta variant of Covid. Cases are growing by about 64% per week and in the worst affected areas are doubling, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said. More time is needed to vaccinate people before remaining rules can be lifted, the PM said. However, a few restrictions are being lifted: The number of guests at a wedding will no longer be limited to 30, although venues and hosts will have to do a risk assessment to ensure social distancing can take place (similar rules apply to wakes) Care home residents will not necessarily have to self-isolate after leaving their care homes, and they will be able to nominate an "essential care-giver" who can visit, even if they are self-isolating Children can go on overnight trips in groups of 30 with, for example, the Scouts or Guides, or as part of summer residential schools Also, large events pilots will continue, including more Euro 2020 games and a number of other sports, arts and music events The government says that more detail about these changes will be published over the next couple of days.
