British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will on Tuesday finally meet with members of the Covid-19 bereaved families for Justice campaigning group, who for more than a year have sharply criticised his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, Reuters reports.

Johnson's Downing Street office confirmed today that the prime minister will hold a private meeting with members of the group.

At the meeting, the group said family members will tell the stories of how their loved ones caught the virus and reiterate their calls for a statutory inquiry into the pandemic to start soon.
