PRIME MINISTER Boris Johnson is facing mounting calls to delay the final easing of lockdown restrictions as Covid cases continue to soar across the country.
New analysis revealed today that infection rates are rising in more localities in Britain than at any point since early January, with numbers up in almost all parts of north-west England, London and Scotland.
Ministers are due to announce whether they will delay the planned final relaxations of restrictions on June 21 within the next seven days.
