Boris Johnson sets date for next round of lockdown easing in England

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced when he will set out the next stage of lockdown easing for England. It comes after measures which were due to come into force on August 1 were delayed. Instead parts of the country went into local lockdown and planed national easing measures were delayed for at least two weeks. The measures included reopening skate rinks, bowling alleys and casinos as well as allowing wedding receptions of up to 30 people - and expanding the trial of live audiences at sporting events and live performances. Those measures are currently on hold.
