SAGE have rushed out minutes of yesterday's meeting, warning of the danger posed by India's B.1.617.2 variant. As it usually takes several days for minutes to appear online, this looks like an effort to speak out before Monday's lifting of restrictions.

Their recommendation was to keep local restrictions in place where the B.1.617.2 variant has taken hold to buy time, and ramp up vaccination in and around those areas "as soon as possible".

But the PM doesn't believe "present evidence" shows any need to delay Monday's reopening.

There's no local measures, just a suggestion for people in those areas to "think twice".

And instead of surge vaccination, accelerating second doses for over 50s.
