LONDON (UK) – Health minister Matt Hancock said that there are signs that coronavirus cases in Britain have started to flatten as a result of current lockdowns. This has paved the way for a Christmas period with less stringent restrictions.
Hancock told Sky News, “There are encouraging signs that the number of cases is starting to flatten, and that the lockdown that we brought in, earlier this month, is working.” He added that they are working on a UK-wide approach to rules for Christmas.
“It of course won’t be like a normal Christmas, there will have to be rules in place, but we hope that they’ll allow for a bit more of that normal Christmas that people really look forward to.”
