COVID-19: How will easing lockdown affect the number of deaths?

The number of COVID-19 infections, hospitalisations and deaths has been falling – but scientific advisers have warned that this could change as restrictions are eased.

Even if lockdown lasted until August, modelling suggests there would still be at least 33,000 more deaths.
