Boris Johnson: It's time to learn to live with COVID

Downing Street said the Cabinet - including new Health Secretary Sajid Javid - 'agreed that once we have completed the road map, we will be able to live with Covid in the future, even if cases continue to rise, thanks to the protections provided by the vaccine.' It came as new figures showed that weekly Covid deaths have risen slightly in England but the virus is still only responsible for fewer than 100 fatalities every seven days . An Office for National Statistics (ONS) report published today found that 74 people died directly from Covid in the week ending June 18, which was up 12 per cent on the week before. Wales recorded no deaths from the virus in the most recent week, for the first time since the pandemic began. A separate study from scientists at Cambridge University found that fewer than one in a thousand people who catch Covid in England now die from the disease.
