Downing Street said that while current statistics were generally in line with modelled earlier this year by scientists, they were constantly assessing the situation.
Last month Mr Johnson unveiled his plan B to manage the pandemic if a rise in cases and hospitalisations risks overwhelming the NHS.
The backup plan included reintroducing Coronavirus rules such as face masks in indoor settings.
Johnson is under increasing pressure to reimpose rules to combat the spread of the virus.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: We clearly keep a very close watch on the latest statistics and we knew the coming months would be challenging.
What we see is case rates, hospitalisations and deaths still broadly in line with the modelling already established a few months back now.
The vaccination programme is continuing to be our first line of defence, together with new treatments, testing, and public health advice.
