Nadhim Zahawi – Government will set out unlocking steps tomorrow
The government’s original plans for ‘Freedom Day’ on 21 June came and went, but this morning the vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi re-asserted that the blueprint for Freedom Day Mk 2 had been given the green light:
NZ: I am confident that we can proceed… but cautiously, and we will be setting out tomorrow, guidelines on… the transition from mandating, or government by diktat, to taking personal responsibility… for our own actions.
We will expect people to wear masks in crowded places
However, while speaking to Andrew Marr, Zahawi stressed that just because restrictions were being relaxed, this did not mean the public had quite the carte-blanche that some might have expected.
