00:00With those numbers creeping up, our assessment is that we should now squeeze that brake pedal, squeeze that brake pedal
00:08in order to keep the virus under control.
00:11On Saturday, the 1st of August, you'll remember we had hoped to reopen in England a number of the higher
00:18risk settings that had remained closed.
00:21And today, I'm afraid we're postponing those changes for at least a fortnight.
00:25That means until the 15th of August at the earliest, casinos, bowling alleys, skating rinks and the remaining close contact
00:33services must remain closed.
00:35Indoor performances will not resume.
00:37Pilots of larger crowds in sports venues and conference centres will not take place.
00:42And wedding receptions of up to 30 people will not be permitted.
00:46But ceremonies, of course, can continue to take place in line with COVID secure guidelines.
