June 21.... Will the release happen?
Coming up on this edition of the HR Show, we pose the question of whether the lockdown restrictions should indeed be lifted on June 21st as part of the UK Governments Phase 4 of the Roadmap.
With the increase in cases of the India variant occurring, scientists are warning of a potential third wave hitting the UK if we come out now, but we ask when do we start considering the variants as a way of life similar to the flu?
