COVID-19: Indian variant makes 21 June easing decision 'more difficult', Matt Hancock says

Health secretary says link between rising coronavirus cases and hospitalisations is 'severed but not broken'

The Indian (Delta) variant of COVID-19 is more transmissible than the Kent (Alpha) strain, making decisions behind the unlocking of restrictions "more difficult", Matt Hancock has told Sky News.

The health secretary said the new variant is 40% more transmissible, leaving the easing of lockdown on 21 June in the balance.

Speaking on the Trevor Phillips On Sunday show, Mr Hancock said: "That figure is the latest advice that I have. That means that it is more difficult to manage this virus with the new Delta variant, but crucially we believe that with two doses of the vaccine you get the same protection as the old variant."
