This afternoon in Carbis Bay, Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed that there is likely to be a delay to June's unlocking.

According to the government roadmap, 21st June should have been the date that all restrictions would be lifted, but that now looks less likely.

Speaking to reporters at Carbis Bay, he urged caution to deliver an "irreversible roadmap", the PM said:

"You have to be cautious, we are still looking at the data and what we are seeing is unquestionably signs of not just cases but hospitalisations going up.

"There will be arguments as to how they are feeding into fatalities but in order to deliver an irreversible roadmap, you have to be cautious.

"We have just got to do whatever it takes to protect life in this country. We are looking at all the data but what we want to do is avoid another wave of deaths."

A decision on the route out of lockdown next week.
