Is BoJo expected to make an official announcement today or is it just speculation?

Also that they are hoping to have offered/given the first injection to everyone in the top 4 groups then they can loosen restrictions- 3 weeks after all the jabs.
So restrictions will last at least until early March this time.

If I heard him correctly, those top 4 groups don't include teachers?

I predict there will be enormous resistance from teachers and unions to reopening schools before teachers are vaccinated. So I think after Easter is more likely.

I still have to work, coordinating a furniture delivery crew. It’s a shambles. They need to change the wording!
