Britain is on track to ease lockdown measures in line with its roadmap, health minister Matt Hancock said after announcing that half of all adults in the country had now had at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose.

“There is no sign that we won’t be able to make progress as set out in the roadmap,” Hancock told Sky News.

Asked about the threat of a third wave of infections in Europe and what that could mean for Britain, Hancock said the government would be vigilant in protecting the country.
