Coronavirus vaccine - Lockdown rules 'are working' to reduce Covid spread with 6.
MATT Hancock has revealed there are "early signs" the lockdown is working with coronavirus cases falling in some parts of the country.
The Health Secretary revealed one in nine adult Brits have now had a vaccine dose after Boris Johnson's hopeful suggestion lockdown measures could start to be relaxed in three weeks.
At a Downing St press conference he said: "There are early signs the actions we are taking are working.
"The rise in the number of cases is slowing and falling in some parts of the country like London and Scotland."
He revealed that a whopping 2.5 million people were vaccinated across the UK last week at a rate of more than 250 a minute.
Four in five over 80s and one in nine of the adult population overall have now had their first jab.
