Page move

We reach July (and the midpoint through the year) tomorrow, and with regular COVID events still occurring, it seems like an appropriate time to create a second page for 2021. As per last year I'm proposing to move this page to Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (January–June 2021) while creating Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (July–December 2021). Hopefully by 2022 we'll only have need for a single timeline page to cover the whole year. I thought I'd mention it here before making any changes so as not to cause confusion.

Also I'm not going to be around for a few days in July, probably from around the 9th to the 14th or 15th as I'm taking a much needed break and visiting some relatives. I'll collect together any stories I find for when I get home again, but if anyone wants to keep these pages up to date while I'm away please feel free to do that. This is Paul (talk) 14:49, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
