If the country's vaccine rollout goes as planned, 75% of adults will have received their first dose and 20% will have received their second dose by mid-summer, which could mean the gradual easing of restrictions.

Along with people getting vaccine doses, other things that could allow measures to be lifted sooner include a faster vaccine rollout, the control of transmission, testing and tracing, sufficient hospital capacity, and continued adherence of public health advice.
