Covid-19: Cummings makes fresh claims and sick patients urge caution
Here are five things you need to know about slotxo the coronavirus pandemic this Tuesday morning. We'll have another update for you this evening.
1. Cummings renews criticism of PM's approach
Boris Johnson was reluctant to tighten Covid restrictions as cases rose last autumn because he thought people dying from it were "essentially all over 80", his former chief adviser says. Dominic Cummings tells the BBC the prime minister messaged him to say: "I no longer buy all this NHS overwhelmed stuff."
2. Details due on critical workers' isolation exemptions
The government will give more details today about its plans to relax isolation rules for critical workers in England who are "pinged" by the NHS Test and Trace app. The prime minister has said some fully vaccinated food, utility and border workers will join nurses and care staff in qualifying for the exemption.
3. Covid patients urge public to 'be careful'
Hospitalisations due to coronavirus are rising, even as the UK's nations have been gradually easing restrictions. We hear from patients at a hospital in Nottingham, who urge the public to continue to take precautions.
4. How businesses are coping
Some dubbed Monday's easing of restrictions a "Grand Reopening". But it's far from business-as-usual for most companies as the pandemic continues to affect the way they trade. We hear from small businesses in York, where some still strongly encourage use of masks, others are struggling with staff isolation and many are missing international tourists.
5. Will different mask rules confuse tourists?
The start of the school summer holidays have combined with the current heatwave to give a welcome boost to pandemic-hit Welsh resorts. But are differences in Welsh and English national rules on wearing masks causing problems with tourists? "People realise the rules are not the same but on the whole they are very good," says beach shop worker Diane Simons.
