Lockdown restrictions are being lifted in England before experts are ready to cut the threat level from coronavirus from "high", No 10 has admitted. Boris Johnson had been expected to lower the alert level from 4 to 3 when he gave the go-ahead for groups of 6 to mix in gardens and parks, but failed to mention it. Now his spokesman has conceded the level remains at 4 - where transmission of the virus is said to be "high" - while arguing it is "coming down from 4 to 3".
