Just 58 deaths from COVID-19 have been recorded today, the lowest number for a Saturday in six months. Ninety-six deaths were recorded last Saturday, meaning fatalities have fallen by 40% in the past week. MailOnline has more.
The figures come ahead of the easing of restrictions on ‘Happy Monday’, with larger outdoor meetings being permitted in England from March 29th.
Earlier today, Boris Johnson said that he can see nothing in the data to dissuade him from continuing along his roadmap, which would mean no curbs from June 21st.
The Prime Minister acknowledged cases could again spiral as restrictions are relaxed, with the ‘stay local’ order having ended in Wales and larger outdoor meetings being permitted in England from Monday.
But he said on Saturday that the “key difference” this time is that the rise in prevalence should be “sufficiently mitigated” by the successful vaccine rollout.

I thought Alastair Campbell was a “socialist”. Funny business for a socialist to be involved in.
Ah, but the actual joys of socialism (general poverty, dependence on state handouts, etc) are only for the great unwashed masses, the stupid proletariat.
In any practical socialist society the nomenclature enjoys special privileges.
Oh isn’t this just firkin marvellous? Wonderful news as this disastrous year draws to a close.
Squirm and sweat you bastards.
Love it.
T B will be calling in a few favours. I doubt he’ll be helping out with any cash though.
I’m looking forward to more on this story. I think the saying is…
Popcorn Time.
And he’s a Burnley supporter, apparently.
Pales into insignificance as regards 100,000 to a million plus dead in Iraq.
May he, Blair and others of his ilk ie the majority of our wonderful MP’s rot in Hell.
I feel sorry for Burnley. Same for Palace having unfunny Jo Brand as a fan.
I notice the Daily Telegraph won’t allow comments on this story, I wonder why?
Too much vitriol for Campbell to take – even though he deserves it.
Psychopath breeds a psychopath
No one beats the bookies long term, the investors must have been pretty dense to believe they could.

Excellent news. A fool and his money are easily parted and once again, greed is justly rewarded.
Bliar Campbell & Falconer are the architects of the UK,s downfall ! Human Filth ……
And just think the ” Prince of Darkness ” has just been given a job. The mind boggles.
So a Get Rich Quick scheme has failed.
Cry me a river.
No comedy here
OK it was Brexit
Remember K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M from Horace Batcheler on Radio Luxemburg. Did anyone ever make any money except Horace himself?
Did AC help compile reports and accounts? Just asking.
Took me a while to stop laughing after reading about this. Liar Campbell and Flatmate Charlie both losing out. Love it.
