The public will likely have to wait longer for details of the
government's review of social distancing rules and its proposals for
COVID certification due to the growth in cases of the Indian variant.
Downing Street signalled Boris Johnson would wait longer to unveil the
plans, despite the prime minister having previously promised to provide
details by the end of this month.

Mr Johnson's official spokesman on Monday said the review of social
distancing rules would be published "as soon as possible based on the
latest data, which will help inform us what measures we can take around
certification".
Asked to explain a delay from the PM's initial timetable, the spokesman
added: "I think it's reasonable for a new variant such as this and the
need to gather as much data as possible to inform our decisions.
"It's right to take the time to get that information before making those
final decisions."

The spokesman also said the results of a review of COVID-19
certification in domestic settings - dubbed "COVID passports" - would be
published "as early as possible", but offered no set date.
Both the review of social distancing rules and work on the possible use
of coronavirus certification are due to be completed by the fourth and
final step of the prime minister's roadmap for lifting lockdown
restrictions, which is scheduled for 21 June.

A decision is set to be announced on 14 June as to whether England will
proceed to stage four of the roadmap.
Earlier this month, the prime minister predicted the "one-metre plus"
rule for social distancing could be scrapped at stage four.
"When it comes to social distancing from 21 June, I look at the data
very carefully and I think at the moment it looks to me as though we may
be able to dispense with the one-metre plus rule," Mr Johnson said at a
Downing Street news conference.

He promised to give more details "by the end of this month" - although
that timetable now appears to have slipped.
Scrapping the "one-metre plus" rule could allow pubs, restaurants and
other venues to operate at larger capacities and serve more customers.

places is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) finding
out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who among us
are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in
order to http://bit.ly/convince_it_forward (John 15:12) for them to
call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of
stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the best while
preparing for the worse-case scenario of the B.1.1.7 lineage mutations
and others like the P.1, B.1.135, B.1.351, B.1.429, B.1.525, &
B.1.617.1-3 lineage mutations combining to render current COVID
vaccines no longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.
So how are you ?
...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,
