The UK coronavirus lockdown could last up to three more months, according to a government minister.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is reluctant to end the lockdown early because he fears a second peak of infections later this summer, Oliver Dowden, the culture secretary, said.
"The PM is very concerned about a second peak if we lift the restrictions too soon," Dowden told the BBC.
"The prime minister said he expected this peak to last around three months," he added. "What's happened is kind of consistent with that."
