  • Tweet
Monday, 22 February, 2021
Houses of Parliament at night

Iain Stewart MP has shared his delight at the vaccine rollout progress as the Prime Minister has set out his plans to ease the lockdown in England.

More than 17.7 million people across the United Kingdom have now received the first dose of the COVID vaccine, with 51,182 people vaccinated in MK as of last Sunday (14/02).

In a speech to the House Of Commons this afternoon the Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed children would return to schools from Monday 8th March.

From that date people will also be able to meet one other person outside in a public place without needing to exercise, with further easings of the lockdown expected to take place in the coming months.

 

These include:

29th March – Rule of six or two households outdoors, return of organised sport, outdoor leisure and sports facilities

12th April (earliest) – Gyms re-open, attractions such as zoos and theme parks can open, all retail will return, and pubs and restaurants can open for outdoor service only

17th May (earliest) – Rule of six indoors, 30 people at weddings, pubs and restaurants indoors, cinemas and theatres can re-open, up to 10,000 at seated outdoor events

21st June (earliest) – Nightclubs can re-open and all legal limits on social contact will be removed

 

Iain Stewart, the MP for Milton Keynes South, commented:

“The Prime Minister’s announcement on the roadmap out of lockdown is most welcome by me, residents and businesses across Milton Keynes. 

“However, we must not get ahead of ourselves. It is important that we continue to practice Hands, Face and Space as well as ensuring those eligible are getting tested or receiving their vaccination.

“By ensuring we all do this, we can satisfy the four tests the Prime Minister outlined, enabling the continuation of easing lockdown restrictions.

“I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the NHS staff, vaccinators and volunteers who have done an incredible job to help us be in the position we are in now!"
