Coronavirus: England’s month-long lockdown could be extended, says Michael Gove

England’s month-long lockdown could be extended beyond December 2 if necessary, cabinet minister Michael Gove has told Sky News.

Speaking to Sophy Ridge on Sunday, the Tory frontbencher also defended the reintroduction of nationwide restrictions, having previously rejected it, arguing the “situation has been worse than anyone expected”.

He warned the NHS would be overwhelmed unless action was taken.
