Prime Minister Boris Johnson will appear at a news conference later today (14th June) with reports suggesting that regulations will remain in place beyond 21st June.

Staffordshire County Council said latest Covid-19 figures showed cases on the up in most parts of the county.

Cllr Johnny McMahon, cabinet support member for public health, said patience will be critical going forward.

> “It looks like further reopening and the final part of the government’s roadmap is going to be delayed – which I know is a devastating blow for many of our businesses here in Staffordshire.  
>  
> “With figures creeping up locally and nationally and the more transmissible Delta variant becoming the dominant strain, I feel showing some patience at this critical time is the prudent course of action.  
>  
> “It appears from early reports the Delta variant is having a more severe effect on people who have not yet had their vaccinations.  
>  
> “So, we must be patent and make sure we do all we can to encourage people to get their first and second jabs without delay.”
