Although the Prime Minister would not be drawn on Monday's roadmap announcement, he said rising hospitalisations were “a matter of serious, serious concern”. Around 90% of new infections are now the Delta variant, with cases doubling every nine days. He added: “In a month you’ll be up to 100,000 new cases a day. The PM said: “We don’t know exactly to what extent that will feed through into extra mortality, but clearly it’s a matter of serious, serious concern. The Cabinet’s Covid Operations committee will tomorrow make final decisions, which will be rubber-stamped by full Cabinet in the morning.
