Speaking at his visit in Aylesbury, Mr Johnson said: “I think the way forward for the country as a whole is to continue with the path that we’re on. We’ll keep everything under review.
“The mixture of things that we’re doing at the moment is, I think, the right one.
“So, number one, continue with Plan B, make sure that people take it seriously, do what we can to stop the spread, use the Plan B measures, work from home if you can, wear a mask on public transport… take a test before going out to meet people you don’t normally meet, think about the requirements under Plan B, but also get the boost.”
