Johnson believes the restrictions will be lifted, but adds, “we may need to wait.”
Up to 75% of all new Covid-19 infections are involved in Indian variants, according to British Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
Hancock confirmed cases are on an uptick in the UK as more than 3,500 new cases were identified on Wednesday.

The probability that the government lifts all restrictions is increasingly questionable, as originally targeted on June 21st.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Thursday that he suspected restrictions would be lifted, but added that he “may need to wait.”
Public Health England data show different cases in different parts of the UK.
According to Hancock, rapid focused testing is being conducted in areas that are most affected by the new variant. Over 17,000 vaccines have been distributed in Bolton last week.
Dr. Jenny Harrys, chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency, worked on briefings and said many outbreaks were focused on “focus” such as schools and buildings of faith.
Harries added: “The case actually looks like they’re beginning to plateau, but the leakage to community communication in the area is important.”
The increase in case numbers “is generally translated into increased cases of hospitalization and definitely not translated to death,” she said.
“So the important message there is… if we can hold it while the vaccination program is rolling out, we’re much more likely to pass this session.”
Joshua Mahony, senior market analyst at IG, discussed the rise in Covid cases by delaying the reopening plan.
“Joe Biden is planning to announce an impressive $6 trillion budget today, but many of which may never come to fruition. France faces a recession following a downward revision to growth in the first quarter. It fell into the UK’s reopening plan could be hampered by an increase in India’s COVID variant.”
“The European market is growing early trade today, and traders are anticipating the announcement of a huge spending plan from Joe Biden today. The $6 trillion budget plan will bring many winners, though , it makes sense to take one of today’s announcements in a pinch of salt.”
“Even though Biden enjoys a slim majority across Congress, his ability to acquire his original plan across the line is questionable. Therefore, the market could enjoy an optimistic end this week. But it may be just a matter of time before we see a massive amount of reality as to how much of the light of day we see out of the six trillion dollars.”
