U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he aims to announce plans on the resumption of international flights by April 5, one week earlier than a government task-force report on travel is due.

In a televised news conference Tuesday, Johnson attempted to temper expectations -- warning that “things certainly look difficult for the time being” due to a “third wave” in coronavirus infections in several European countries.
