But Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick refused to rule out the possible lockdown measures being taken in future - saying only they aren't under active consideration, or being planned now.
Asked if over-50s could be asked to stay indoors more than under-50s, he told Times Radio: "This is just speculation.
"You would expect the government to be considering all of the range of options that might be available to us.
“That’s not something that’s being actively considered.
"We have a shielding programme, we’ve provided very clear guidance to those people who we’ve identified as being extremely clinically vulnerable and we’ve supported them.”
Asked if putting London into a second lockdown is under consideration he replied: "Not as far as I’m aware.
"We’re taking a very localised approach following the data and I’m working, for example, with each of the Directors of Public Health of the London boroughs who are monitoring the rate of transmission in their own areas very closely.
“There’s no plan, as far as I’m aware, to do anything broader in London.”

“ He ’ s better off enjoying his retirement and travelling – and forget Meghan altogether .
”

Thomas Markle Jr has said that his half-sister did not get in touch with her dad to mark his birthday - and he now wants to enjoy his retirement and 'forget about her altogether'
Meghan Markle 'did not contact father for his 76th birthday', claims half-brother
Meghan Markle did not contact her father to wish him a happy birthday, her half-brother has claimed.
Thomas Markle Sr turned 76 recently - but his son claims he "didn't hear anything from Meghan".
He also says that his father now wants to enjoy his retirement and "forget about Meghan altogether" after the breakdown in their relationship.
The Duchess of Sussex's father has finally given up hope of ever reuniting with his daughter.
Thomas, 76, has been left fuming since reading extracts of explosive new book Finding Freedom, which is said to have been tacitly approved by Meghan and Prince Harry.

And he now plans to enjoy his retirement travelling the world to distract himself from the heartbreak.
In an exclusive interview, Meghan’s half-brother Tom Markle Jnr, who speaks to their dad every day, said: “As far as a reunion goes, he’s given up on Meghan and Harry completely.
“He doesn’t trust her and doesn’t want to know that person because of the lies, manipulation and deceit. He just had his 76th birthday – needless to say, he didn’t hear from Meghan.”
Tom Jnr, 53, says his dad denies the book’s claims he ignored scores of texts and calls telling him to come to her and Harry’s 2018 wedding.
The couple have tried to distance themselves from the book, insisting they did not contribute and it was based on “independent reporting”.
Speaking about the book’s claims, Tom Jnr said: “It says Harry spoke to our dad to say if he’d listened to him, Harry, there wouldn’t have been any problems. That just did not happen.
“All these hundreds of texts and calls Meghan sent my dad ahead of the wedding? Our father wasn’t even at his house. He was in hospital.

“His phone was switched off. That’s why he didn’t answer, there’s no way he could have. Our dad actually called her scores of times ahead of the wedding after he made the mistake of doing those pics, but he was ignored.
“The Palace told Meghan and Harry to send help for my father so he could deal with the Press but they refused. Meghan herself said no.”
Tom Jnr also claimed the infamous letter Meghan, 38, sent their dad – triggering a high-profile privacy case at the High Court – includes as-yet-unrevealed contents he describes as “horrifying” and “very hurtful”.
The retired Hollywood lighting expert is expected to give evidence against Meghan as part of the case.

But despite now giving up on his daughter, Thomas – who lives in Rosarito, Mexico – is still desperate to build a relationship with his 14-month-old grandson Archie.
Tom Jnr added: “He will fight and pursue the avenues needed to see Archie. They’re not the only ones who can launch a court case. He’d love to hold that little boy one time.”
He said Harry, 35, has gone “from the British Army and Royal Family to changing diapers at a multi-million dollar property thousands of miles from his family while being told what to say and do by Meghan.”
And he added: “Dad wants to die a happy man. He’s had enough BS.
“He’s better off enjoying his retirement and travelling – and forget Meghan altogether.”

Cheeseman suffered two defeats last year - to Sergio Garcia and Scott Fitzgerald - with a draw with Kieron Conway completing a three-fight winless streak .

MATCHROOM BOXING'S IMPRESSIVE 'FIGHT CAMP' AS SEEN FROM THE SKY
MATCHROOM BOXING'S IMPRESSIVE 'FIGHT CAMP' AS SEEN FROM THE SKY
Hearn held his first show since the coronavirus lockdown as fighters descended on his back garden on Saturday night
Ted Cheeseman celebrated the launch of Eddie Hearn's Fight Camp with a points win over Sam Eggington in his promoter's back garden.
Cheeseman suffered two defeats last year - to Sergio Garcia and Scott Fitzgerald - with a draw with Kieron Conway completing a three-fight winless streak.
And after his clash with Eggington broke out into a late war, Cheeseman will have an extra skip in his step as he leaves the quarantined bubble.
He had the Birmingham man in trouble in the third round but appeared unwilling to empty the tank at that early stage.
And he held off a second-half fightback from his more experienced opponent before being given the nod by all three judges.
Here are our talking points from the evening's action...
1. Round 13 for Eggington and Cheeseman?
It maybe took longer to ignite than we had hoped, but the final bell in the main event came too soon with Ted Cheeseman and Sam Eggington both in trouble in the dying embers.
Cheeseman started the stronger - and ended the fight on the front foot - but only after surviving a scare in the final stanza.
Both men endured disappointing years in 2019 and it would do neither of them any harm to run this one back - hopefully in front of fans later this year.
Eggington may rue not starting the fight quicker but will take plenty of confidence from the way he finished.
Cheeseman, meanwhile, can breathe a sigh of relief having failed to win any of his previous three bouts.

2. Gill back on track
Jordan Gill has endured a nightmare 12 months after suffering his first career defeat by Mario Enrique Tinoco before fearing for his fighting future when he was diagnosed with a thyroid disease.
But the featherweight will hope those are but distant memories after he outpointed Reece Bellotti in the Fight Camp opener.
At 26 the Chatteris man has time on his side and clearly has the backing of his coach Dave Coldwell.
Gill pumped his jab out to great effect as Belotti struggled to get out of first gear and never brought his trademark ferociousness.

3. Smith a real diamond
With only four shows, 20 bouts and 40 fighters, there is a real chance for some of the country's prospects to shine over the next three weeks.
Eddie Hearn has made it clear that some of his fighters have been unwilling to take part in his Fight Camp but Dalton Smith jumped at the chance.
And the 23-year-old from Sheffield moved to 6-0 with a disciplined and clinical performance over Nathan Bennett.
Smith, a stand-out amateur, worked his double jab to perfection and, after a feint, it was that shot which set up the right hand which caught Bennett in the sweet spot behind the ear to leave him flat on the canvas.
Having stepped up, Smith needs to remain on an upward trajectory and squeeze in at least two more fights before the end of the year.
Image: Mark Robinson) Mark Robinson)
4. Dispense with the masks
The health and safety of the fighters must of course be a priority, but the excessive PPE seems unnecessary.
The trainers and seconds are in full gear while the referee is also wearing a mask.
But everyone has been in a 'bubble' all week and have also tested negative for Covid-19, so why not dispense with the masks and at least let us think we're living in some sort of normality?
Image: Mark Robinson) Mark Robinson)
5. No more crowd noise, please
Hearn made a point this week of saying he wasn't going to be using the crowd noise which has received mixed reviews from Premier League fans.
There was plenty of anticipation about hearing the fighters' punches in all their thudding glory, as well as the instructions from the corner.
But, and it may have been Sky's decision rather than Matchroom's, the crowd noise was present after all - and it didn't go down well.
Fans took to social media to vent their disappointment - hopefully the organisers see sense before Friday's second installment.
