Covid-19: English lockdown may last beyond 2 Dec, says Gove
Michael Gove says it is his “fervent hope” that England’s new lockdown will end on 2 December – but that ministers will be “guided by the facts”.
“We do need to get the R rate below 1,” the Cabinet Office minister told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show.
The strict measures are due to come into force from Thursday.
