This Easter weekend, please remember that outdoors is generally much safer than indoors.
If you’re in England and seeing friends and family outside, keep to groups of up to six people or two households.
Let’s keep each other safe as we continue with the vaccination rollout.
1358
We've reached another milestone in our vaccination programme with over 5 million people now having had their second jab.
I urge everyone to take up their second dose as soon as they are offered it.

The arrival of Easter brings with it new hope.
And, this year more than ever, it brings the promise of brighter days ahead for us all.
So stay safe, keep following the rules, and have a very happy Easter.

I’m very sad to hear the news of the death of Dame Cheryl Gillan.
She was a great servant to the people of Chesham and Amersham, to the Conservative Party and to the country as Secretary of State for Wales. (1/2)

Always full of wise advice and good humour, she was much loved on all sides of the House of Commons and will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. (2/2)

We set out our roadmap and we’re sticking to it.
It is by being cautious, by monitoring the data at every stage, and by following the rules – remembering hands, face, space and fresh air – that we hope together to make this roadmap to freedom irreversible.

I spoke to President Zelenskyy @ZelenskyyUa this evening regarding our concerns about destabilising Russian military activity on Ukraine’s border.
I reiterated the UK’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Very promising news that the @valnevaSE vaccine shows a strong immune response and will progress to Phase 3 trials.
If it is successful and meets our robust safety standards this vaccine will be manufactured in Scotland, providing a crucial weapon in our battle against COVID. twitter.com/SkyNews/status…

As the regulators have said, this vaccine is safe, effective and has already saved thousands of lives – and the vast majority of people should continue to take it when offered. 2/3

We will follow today’s updated advice, which should allow people of all ages to continue to have full confidence in vaccines, helping us save lives and cautiously return towards normality. 3/3

I am deeply concerned by the scenes of violence in Northern Ireland, especially attacks on PSNI who are protecting the public and businesses, attacks on a bus driver and the assault of a journalist. The way to resolve differences is through dialogue, not violence or criminality.

Sad to hear about the loss of Peter Ainsworth - a delightful colleague & passionate about his causes, especially the environment. We shared a corridor & often found ourselves charging late for the division. He has been taken far too young. My thoughts with Claire & their family.

It was fantastic to meet with businesses in Cornwall to hear how they are preparing to reopen and welcome customers back on Monday.
The next stage in our roadmap is a significant step towards reclaiming the freedoms COVID has taken from us.
