Raab said the government will need to be satisfied on five specific points before it considers reviewing the current restrictions. We must be confident that we are able to provide sufficient critical care and specialist treatment right across the UK. “Third, we need to have reliable data from SAGE showing that the rate of infection is decreasing to manageable levels across the board. “Fifth, and this is really crucial, we need to be confident that any adjustments to the current measures will not risk a second peak of infections that overwhelm the NHS. The worst thing we could do now is ease up too soon and allow a second peak of the virus to hit the NHS and hit the British people”.
