Robert Jenrick says Covid data appears to be 'in right place' ahead of 19 July

Guardian, 04 Jul 2021
Robert Jenrick, the UK’s communities secretary, suggested coronavirus control measures in England such as the legal requirement to wear face coverings in enclosed public settings would be left up to personal choice after the final stage of the roadmap.
"We trust the British public to exercise good judgment, people will come to different conclusions as you say," Jenrick told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.
In England, there has been a lot of debate about what the rules will/should look like from 19 July, the date set for the final easing of restrictions, with plenty of speculation that some would remain in place. It does look as if the data is in the right place," Jenrick said. "It isn't translating into serious illness and death"
