The government does not expect to make changes to coronavirus lockdown restrictions this week, Dominic Raab has said.
The foreign secretary said the UK’s plan “is working” but that “we are still not passed the peak of this virus”.
“Keep this up, we have come too far, lost too many loved ones and sacrificed too much to ease up,” he said.
It came as the government said it might change its advice on using face masks.
Will face masks become the new norm?
The UK’s chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance told the daily Downing Street news conference an ongoing review was considering evidence on the impact of changing the guidance on whether people should wear face masks while outside.
Asked by the BBC’s David Shukman whether the government could change its advice, Sir Patrick said the government had already seen “more persuasive” data suggesting masks can stop a person passing the virus to someone else, rather than preventing them from catching it.
