Most of these cases detected are asymptomatic, and owing to the vaccination programme, very few are being admitted to hospital. As long as the NHS is not in danger of being unable to cope, we can carry on regardless.

So my view is, we continue apace with the vaccinations and cease these restrictions as planned on 21 June.
NHS Test and Trace advert on at the moment says that 1 in 3 peeople with Covid are asymptomatic. That suggests most people with Covid do have symptoms which is reassuring. Where do your more alarming figures come from?
