End of lockdown too soon? Virtually (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nearly

'virtually' is the definition.
(I know that virtually can be written as nearly)

'end of lockdown too soon?' is the wordplay.
'end of' says to take the final letters.
'too soon?' becomes 'early' (I've seen this before).
The final letter of 'lockdown' is 'n'.
'n'+'early'='NEARLY'

(Other definitions for nearly that I've seen before include "Give out a bright light" , "parsimoniously" , "approximately" , "Almost, well-nigh" , "pretty much" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
