Authorities have said the prevalence of the delta variant is responsible for the sharp rise in cases in England. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing a difficult decision on whether to reopen the country on June 21. That’s the day Johnson’s government said people could look forward to a lifting of all limits on social contacts.
