Self-isolation will not be dropped for the double-jabbed and children who are 'pinged' until AUGUST 16 as Sajid Javid says 'wall of protection' from vaccines means government can 'look afresh' at rules

• Self-isolation rules for double jabbed won't be dropped until August 16 more than a month after Freedom Day 
• Sajid Javid has admitted cases could top 100,000 a day this summer as he defended July 19 unlocking move 
• Professor Lockdown Neil Ferguson said they could go even higher but said 'optimistic' PM's plan will work

Millions more healthy people face putting their lives on hold after Sajid Javid revealed the requirement for the double-jabbed to self-isolate will not be dropped until August 16.

The Health Secretary said the 'protective wall' thrown up by the vaccine drive meant that ministers can 'look afresh' at rules when people are 'pinged' for contact with an infected individual.

From the middle of next month people who have received two doses - with the second administered at least two weeks previously - can take PCR tests rather than self-isolating. Under-18s will also not be subject to the restrictions from the same date.

But the timetable is far slower than many had hoped, and potentially means huge numbers of people will be caught after 'Freedom Day' on July 19. Mr Javid told the Commons that he had looked at changing the system earlier, but was 'more comfortable' waiting until even more people are vaccinated.  

The dramatic news came after Mr Javid admitted coronavirus cases could top 100,000 a day by the summer as the government pushes ahead with the unlocking. 

He gave the grim figure as he insisted Boris Johnson is right to continue with the dramatic endpoint on July 19, saying the hospitalisations and deaths were what mattered.

The PM was also given a boost this morning as 'Professor Lockdown' Neil Ferguson said he is 'optimistic' the 'gamble' of releasing restrictions will work - although he cautioned that cases could hit 200,000 a day and they might need to be reimposed if vaccines are slightly less effective than hoped and deaths surge. 

Mr Javid said that by 'Freedom Day' he expects daily cases to reach 50,000 - nearly double the current level. 

'As we ease and go into the summer we expect them to rise significantly and they could go as high as 100,000 case numbers,' he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

'We want to be very straightforward about this... but what matters more than anything is hospitalisation and death numbers. That is where the link has been severely weakened.'

Last night Mr Johnson signalled a 'big bang' end to lockdown on July 19, saying it was now or never for a return to normality despite the pandemic being 'far from over'.

He claimed further delay would run the risk of trying to reopen in autumn or winter when 'the virus has an edge'. 

And at a sombre Downing Street press conference, Mr Johnson warned against going 'demob happy' at the ending of most coronavirus restrictions on July 19.

And he toned down previous pledges that the path out of lockdown would be 'irreversible' – with restrictions potentially returning and 'contingency' powers kept in reserve. A final decision on whether to press ahead on July 19 will be taken at the start of next week but seems almost certain to be approved.

In other twists and turns in the crisis today:

• Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has announced the use of bubbles in schools will come to an end; 
• Labour has branded the PM's unlocking 'reckless' and insisted masks should still be compulsory on public transport; 
• The gap between vaccine doses has been cut from 12 weeks to eight for the under-40s to give more people the protection of a second jab;
• Britain recorded another 27,334 cases of the virus yesterday, but only nine more Covid-related deaths;
• London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he would work with transport providers to keep mask rules in place;
• An official review of social distancing warned keeping the 'economically disruptive' one metre-plus rule in place would constrain the recovery;
• The PM said he hoped to lift quarantine restrictions on fully vaccinated holidaymakers returning from amber list countries – but did not say when;
• Downing Street said social distancing would remain in airports, amid concerns about the virus spreading in arrival halls.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the 'protective wall' thrown up by the vaccine drive meant that ministers can 'look afresh' at the contact tracing rules

The rise in coronavirus cases has been driving up the numbers forced to self-isolate after being 'pinged' - with the trend now set to continue into the middle of August

Javid plans to carry a mask around for 'the foreseeable future' 

Sajid Javid has said he plans to carry a mask 'for the foreseeable future' after the Government announced their use would become voluntary at the next stage of the road map.

The Health Secretary said it was a 'responsible thing for anyone to do' as he confirmed he would continue to wear a face covering in certain situations in public.

The legal requirement to wear face masks will be lifted in England on 'freedom day' – expected on July 19 – although guidance will suggest people might still choose to do so in crowded places.

Experts remained divided on the issue, but the Health Secretary said it marks a move towards individuals exercising personal responsibility rather than laws regulating how they live their lives during the pandemic.

Mr Javid told Sky News: 'For the foreseeable future I will be carrying a face mask with me, I think that's a very responsible thing for anyone to do. As I have said, the pandemic is not over.

'If I'm in a crowded or enclosed space, I will wear a face mask. In fact I will wear one if I was next to someone or near someone that felt uncomfortable with others not wearing face masks.

'And that's what I mean by personality responsibility.'

Professor Ferguson said 'policy will have to remain flexible' after coronavirus restrictions are lifted.

The Government adviser told Today: 'At the peak of the second wave 50,000 cases would translate into something like 500 deaths, but that's going to be much lower this time, more like 50 or so.

'The challenge is, there's still the potential of getting very large numbers of cases and so if we get very high numbers of cases a day, 150,000 or 200,000 it could still cause some pressure to the health system.

'This is a slight gamble, it's a slight experiment at the moment, and I think it's justifiable and I'm reasonable optimistic, but policy will have to remain flexible.

'If we end up in something close to the worst-case scenario we and other groups are looking at, which I think is unlikely but can't be ruled out, then yes there will need to be some course direction later.'

In a downbeat assessment slipped out in documents alongside the briefing last night, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) said that even if hospitalisations and deaths remained low, there were major risks in letting cases surge.

The group warned that should a 'variant of concern' arrive that threatened immunity, lockdown restrictions would need to reimposed for much longer. 

Sage warned that some 'baseline measures' may have to stay, with 'sustained behavioural change' necessary.

Experts said self-isolation when ill would remain 'critical' and working from home was a 'highly effective' long-term option. And in a grim sign that Britons face a return of some curbs in the near future, Sage added: 'Stronger measures may be desirable for autumn and winter.'

Shadow health secretary Jon Ashworth struggled to explain how Labour would do things differently as he toured broadcast studios this morning.

Told on ITV's Good Morning Britain that he only seemed to be complaining that masks were being made voluntary, Mr Ashworth insisted there was a wider problem. 

'Yes I would've been happier. But it's not just the masks, it's things like sick pay,' he said.

'Sick pay is really, really important; if you're on really low pay, or in a temporary work or zero hour contact, you've not been able to access sick pay throughout this whole crisis.

'Some people have been forced to make use of their annual leave to go on the sick, that's not on, that's not fair. So I really want that resolving as well.'

Mr Johnson's decision to defy gloomy warnings from scientists and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was warmly cheered by business chiefs and Conservative MPs.

However there was confusion over quarantine for summer holidays, the end of mandatory mask wearing and the future of working from home.  

Mr Johnson's leading scientific advisers appeared cautious at the press conference, with chief medical officer Chris Whitty saying the third Covid wave was 'significant and rising'.

Labour condemns mask move but refuses to say how many Covid deaths would be acceptable  

Shadow health secretary Jon Ashworth struggled to explain how Labour would do things differently as he toured broadcast studios today.

Mr Ashworth complained that case levels were too high, but refused to say what numbers of deaths might be acceptable to revive the economy. 

Told on ITV's Good Morning Britain that he only seemed to be complaining that masks were being made voluntary, Mr Ashworth insisted there was a wider problem. 

'Yes I would've been happier. But it's not just the masks, it's things like sick pay,' he said.

'Sick pay is really, really important; if you're on really low pay, or in a temporary work or zero hour contact, you've not been able to access sick pay throughout this whole crisis.

'Some people have been forced to make use of their annual leave to go on the sick, that's not on, that's not fair. So I really want that resolving as well.'

And the updated roadmap document makes clear that options are being kept open for renewing the curbs. 

'The Government will maintain contingency plans for reimposing economic and social restrictions at a local, regional or national level if evidence suggests they are necessary to suppress or manage a dangerous variant. Such measures would only be re-introduced as a last resort to prevent unsustainable pressure on the NHS,' the document said.

'The Government will also maintain the current regulations until 28 September that enable local authorities to respond to serious and imminent public health threats. The Government will also publish an updated COVID-19 contain outbreak management framework for local areas in due course.' 

Sage scientific advisers published documents saying there was a 'significant risk' in allowing cases to rise – and that restrictions might need to return this winter. And in a sign that the political consensus over Covid was fracturing, Sir Keir branded Mr Johnson's announcement 'reckless'.  

At last night's briefing, Mr Johnson warned cases were predicted to rise to 50,000 a day later this month and that 'we must reconcile ourselves, sadly, to more deaths from Covid'.

But he declared: 'We must be honest with ourselves that if we can't reopen our society in the next few weeks, when we will be helped by the arrival of summer and by the school holidays, then we must ask ourselves: when will we be able to return to normal?'

He said a further delay would 'run the risk of either opening up at a very difficult time when the virus has an edge' in the autumn or winter or 'putting everything off to next year'.

Chief scientist Sir Patrick Vallance said Covid cases were doubling every nine days and hospitalisations were also rising, albeit at a slower rate. 'The vaccines have weakened the link, not broken it,' he said. 

Both he and Professor Whitty said they would continue to wear face masks in busy settings. Professor Whitty acknowledged there were 'some advantages' to reopening in the summer and Downing Street denied a claim from Dominic Cummings that the Prime Minister had overruled his scientific advisers.

In a bold shift despite daily Covid cases rising a fifth in a week to 27,000, Boris Johnson told a Downing Street briefing that the government will no longer issue 'top down' orders after July 19 and people must use their common sense to manage the risks

Cases on rise but 'the NHS will cope' 

The NHS will meet the challenge of rising Covid cases and 'learn to live with' the virus, health leaders insisted yesterday.

Professor Chris Whitty said that there is likely to be a surge in hospital admissions as Britain unlocks and the health service will also face a 'very tricky winter'. But he added that the NHS 'will cope with anything'.

There are currently 1,905 Covid-19 patients in NHS hospitals. This is double the number of one month ago, but down from a peak of almost 40,000 in January. Professor Whitty said hospital admissions could reach 'quite high numbers' but are unlikely to be as bad as previous waves.

Latest data shows infections are up 53 per cent in a week and yesterday another 27,335 cases and nine deaths were recorded in the UK.

NHS England's medical director Professor Stephen Powis said: 'We're well used to coping with pressures. We are prepared and, as you have seen over the last 18 months of the pandemic, the NHS will manage.'

A Whitehall source said last night: 'The majority view among the scientists is in favour. Yes there are some noises off in the media, but they are in a minority position.'

As Mr Javid set out the unlocking measures in the Commons some Conservative MPs shouted 'hallelujah'.

Former chief whip Mark Harper said it was 'great to see Cabinet ministers now publicly saying what my Covid Recovery Group colleagues and I have been saying for ages – there will never be zero risk from Covid'.

The senior Tory MP added: 'Let's not squander our world-class rollout of effective vaccines.'

Shevaun Haviland, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said that although more detail was needed, the announcement was 'a much-needed step on the road to normality and we welcome the Prime Minister setting out the direction of travel in advance of reopening'.

Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality, which represents the leisure and hospitality sector, said: 'The Prime Minister's announcement marks a major milestone in how England will come to live with Covid and will be celebrated by hospitality business owners and their staff across the country.'

But Sir Keir suggested elements of the lockdown should continue, saying: 'To throw off all protections at the same time, when the infection rate is going up, is reckless.'

Despite the removal of legal restrictions, some fear Government guidance could still muddy the waters in some areas. Pubs and restaurants will no longer be required to collect contact details by law to help contact tracing. But No 10 said it hoped most would continue to do so.

Government advice on working from home also left some disappointed. While the formal advice will be dropped, the Prime Minister said it would be up to employers to decide how and when staff should return.

There are no plans for a back-to-work push by government of the kind seen last summer. 

At a press conference last night chief medical officer Chris Whitty said some social distancing would still be required beyond July 19.

In a sign of his concern, he said the epidemic was 'clearly significant and rising' and emphasised that decisions were 'made by ministers, not by scientific advisers or medical advisers'.

He added: 'Within the scientific views on this, there was a really clear consensus that under all circumstance some degree of further social distancing needs to be maintained even after the restrictions are lifted in law.'

It suggests Boris Johnson's plan to lift all restrictions on July 19 may be at odds with the views of some of his scientific advisers, although Downing Street insists most of the PM's advisers back his approach. Sage said there were 'many advantages' to keeping infections down even with low hospitalisation and death rates.

It said: 'It makes it easier to prevent a return to rapid growth in the epidemic which could lead to the NHS being overwhelmed.

'Lower infection rates will also reduce impact of post-Covid syndromes and allow more NHS capacity to be used for routine care. There is significant risk in allowing prevalence to rise, even if hospitalisations and deaths are kept low by vaccination.

'If it were necessary to reduce prevalence to low levels again (eg. because of a new variant of concern) then restrictive measures would be required for much longer.'

Infections are currently at the highest level since January, and Mr Johnson acknowledged they are likely to reach 50,000 a day within a fortnight and that hospitalisations and deaths will keep rising.

He said: 'I don't want people to feel this the end of Covid – it is very far from the end.' Officials have consistently said there can be no complete return to pre-pandemic life after July 19.

Sir Patrick Vallance, the chief scientific adviser, said people must change their behaviour in light of rising cases. He said: 'We are in the face of an increasing epidemic at the moment and therefore we need to behave accordingly.'

One Sage document assessing what long-term or 'baseline' measures will be needed after July 19 said: 'Keeping some level of measures in place both through summer and beyond would significantly decrease ongoing transmission.'

It concluded that ongoing measures and sustained long-term behavioural change will be required to control a resurgence in infections – particularly in the winter.

The scientists said self-isolation 'needs to become routine' for anyone with symptoms, quarantine after international travel is 'important' and local measures, potentially including lockdowns, will be needed 'in all scenarios'.

They also concluded that working from home is highly effective at cutting the spread and recommended ongoing physical distancing and the use of masks.

The Chief Medical Officer said hospitals could be in for a 'very difficult' period over the colder months as they grapple with spikes in Covid and flu admissions, as well as the normal winter pressures.  

Professor Whitty said: 'The winter is inevitably going to be tricky and the NHS is likely to have both Covid and some resurgence of other respiratory viruses that were suppressed by the degree of lockdown last time round.

Prof Whitty and Sir Patrick both suggested they would wear masks on crowded rail services even after July 19

'So I think we should be realistic and this coming winter may be very difficult for the NHS.'

Asked directly if Covid restrictions could go into reverse, Mr Johnson said he would 'have to take whatever steps we need to do to protect the public'. 

It came despite the PM previously promising the roadmap out of lockdown would be 'irreversible'. 

Professor Whitty admitted that SAGE was still split over whether the final stage of the roadmap should go ahead because the epidemic is still growing.

But he warned that delaying the reopening any further could push the the third wave into the winter and cause an even larger peak. 

The CMO acknowledged there was a 'mixed' view among scientists on the timing of lifting restrictions, and that he had 'quite a strong view' that doing so in summer has advantages over autumn.

He said: 'The view is more mixed about exactly what the right timing is from a technical point of view, even before you get into issues that the Prime Minister has to deal with more widely.

'And these really come from the fact that at a certain point, you move to the situation where instead of actually averting hospitalisations and deaths, you move over to just delaying them.

'So you're not actually changing the number of people who will go to hospital or die, you may change when they happen.

'And there is quite a strong view by many people, including myself actually, that going in the summer has some advantages, all other things being equal, to opening up into the autumn when schools are going back and when we're heading into the winter period when the NHS tends to be under greatest pressure for many other reasons.

'So it's a very much more difficult technical decision now, even before ministers have to grapple with all the other things, than it was in terms of the four-week delay where I think there was a very substantial degree of scientific agreement.'

Both Professor Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance, No10's chief scientific adviser are among those arguing that 'if not now then when'.  

The new normal! Face masks, distancing, socialising and isolation... everything you need to know about our post-lockdown rules

WHAT IS BEING AXED ON JULY 19? 

RULE OF SIX

There will be no legal limits on social contact, meaning groups will not have to limit themselves to six people or two households if they are mixing indoors. 

Groups outdoors can be as large as people want them to be.

WEDDING AND FUNERAL CAP

The limits on attendance at weddings, funerals and other major life events are being scrapped.

ART AND SPORT VENUE LIMITS

There will be no more restrictions on the size of an audience at a concert or a show, or a crowd at a sports fixture, which means theatres and stadiums can run at full capacity.

NIGHTCLUBS

All other legal requirements for venues to close will be lifted, allowing night-time industries – including nightclubs – to reopen for the first time since the pandemic began.

SINGING CURBS

No restrictions on singing, or even guidance to restrict it. It means singing by church choirs can continue – as can karaoke nights.

WHAT IS STAYING AFTER JULY 19?  

CONTACT TRACING 

The system will not be stood down because the Prime Minister believes it will be essential to help manage Covid outbreaks in future.

Keeping the system means people can still be contacted if they have been in proximity to a Covid sufferer.

Guidance will back venues scanning customers in to help support contact tracing.

WHAT WILL BE ONLY GUIDANCE NOT LAW? 

FACE MASKS

Legal rules mandating the wearing of face masks will be axed.

However, guidance will state that people should wear them in hospitals and care homes as well as in 'crowded public spaces'.

It will also suggest that people should wear masks in places where cases are rising.

Transport services such as the London Underground may decide to make wearing masks a condition of travel.

Private companies will be allowed to make them a requirement for entry, as Ryanair has already announced on its flights.

GOING TO PUBS

It will no longer be a legal requirement to scan a QR code on entry to a venue as part of the test and trace system. However, venues will be allowed to make use of the codes a requirement for entry if they choose.

It will also no longer be a legal requirement for pubs to require customers to order drinks at their tables. However, some pub chains may continue this – meaning that people will still not be able to go to the bar if an individual pub bans it.

ONE-METRE RULE

The one-metre rule will be scrapped in law – meaning fewer Perspex screens in offices.

It also means hospitality businesses like pubs and restaurants won't have to limit customers to ensure they are spaced apart. However, the one-metre rule will continue to be enforced at borders, such as in airports, amid concern over people coming into the country with variants.

WORKING FROM HOME

The Government's 'work from home' message will end and employers will be able to start to plan a return to the workplace.

But it will still be up to individual employers. Some may decide to continue with working from home for the foreseeable future.

And although guidance to employers will be slimmed down, it will still encourage them to ensure rooms are properly ventilated to minimise risk.

CAP ON CARE HOME VISITS

The current restriction that people can only be seen by five named visitors will be scrapped.

But strict infection-control measures – such as the wearing of PPE and regular cleaning – will continue, with more detail to be announced later.

JAB PASSPORTS

Covid status certification – so-called vaccine passports – will not be legally required in domestic settings.

It is being left up to individual venues to decide themselves whether to demand Covid status certification through the NHS App as a condition of entry.

 

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR DETAILS ON? 

FOREIGN TRAVEL

A new system to allow double-jabbed people to avoid quarantine after returning from amber-list countries does not yet have a start date.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps is working with the travel industry to introduce the scheme, with more details due later this week.

It could begin on July 19 – but possibly not until August 2.

SELF-ISOLATION

Ministers are scrapping the need for double-jabbed people to self-isolate if they are contacted by test and trace, or 'pinged' by the NHS app.

But the change will not come into force until August 16 - nearly a month after so-called 'Freedom Day'. 

The rules are being changed for children at the same time, easing the situation in schools.

CLASS BUBBLES

The Government is scrapping the requirement to send a whole class home if one pupil tests positive – and to replace the 'bubbles' system with testing.

Schools are not expected to be asked to bring in a new system until next term.

HOWEVER...

A final decision on whether all the above changes will be implemented is not expected to be announced until next Monday, July 12.

They will only go ahead if the Government deems the country has met its 'four tests'.

Boris Johnson said yesterday he would do 'everything possible' to stop restrictions being re-imposed in the future.

ALSO: ROLLOUT OF VACCINES

The gap between first and second vaccines for the under-40s will be shortened from 12 weeks to eight to help ensure that everyone can be doubled jabbed by September.

Delaying Freedom Day could lead to MORE Covid deaths in winter, Chris Whitty says - Daily Mail

Delaying Freedom Day could lead to MORE Covid deaths in winter: Chris Whitty says it's better to get big bang of cases out of the way in summer when hospitals are less busy after SAGE modelling showed July was the 'sweet spot' for unlocking

• CMO  said he believed 'quite strongly' there are benefits to unlocking now rather than waiting until autumn 
• Some have suggested waiting until autumn when every adult has been fully jabbed before releasing curbs
• But modelling by SAGE has shown that this would cause the third wave to peak in winter when NHS is busy 

By Connor Boyd Assistant Health Editor For Mailonline

Published: 11:48 BST, 6 July 2021 | Updated: 12:49 BST, 6 July 2021

Delaying lockdown beyond July 19 will not reduce the number of Covid deaths and could potentially lead to a worse peak in winter, Professor Chris Whitty warned last night.

The Chief Medical Officer acknowledged that while some restrictions will always be better than none in terms of containing Covid, at some point they have to be released for the sake of the economy and impact on wider health.

With that in mind, Professor Whitty revealed he believed 'quite strongly' that there are many benefits to unlocking now rather than waiting until autumn - which some have suggested could buy No10 time to get every adult fully vaccinated. 

It would get the big bang of Covid infections and hospital admissions — expected when social distancing comes to an end — out of the way in summer when the NHS is less busy.

'At a certain point, you move to the situation where instead of actually averting hospitalisations and deaths, you move over to just delaying them,' the CMO told a Downing Street press conference last night. 

'So you're not actually changing the number of people who will go to hospital or die, you may change when they happen. 

'There is quite a strong view by many people, including myself actually, that going in the summer has some advantages, all other things being equal, to opening up into the autumn when schools are going back and when we're heading into the winter period when the NHS tends to be under greatest pressure for many other reasons.' 

The comments come on the back of modelling from prominent SAGE member 'Professor Lockdown' Neil Ferguson that suggested late July was an apparent 'sweet spot' for releasing curbs.

His team at Imperial College London found delaying the original June 21 date until later this month likely prevented thousands of deaths. Delaying them until autumn or winter could result in more fatalities. 

Even though more people would be vaccinated, scientists believe releasing curbs in winter would cause a bigger spike because people spend more time indoors and other respiratory viruses are rife. The NHS will also be grappling with normal winter pressures. 

Professor Whitty, Professor Ferguson, who was instrumental in Britain's first lockdown last spring, and Sir Patrick Vallance, the chief scientific adviser, are all believed to be in the 'if not now, then when' camp. 

During a round of interviews this morning, the normally cautious Professor Ferguson said pressing ahead with July was 'justifiable' and revealed he was 'reasonably optimistic'.

DAILY HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS: Modelling by Professor Neil Ferguson's team at Imperial College London found that delaying Freedom Day until December (shown in green) to let all adults get double-vaccinated would push the peak in Covid hospital admissions further into winter, rather than reducing the number of admissions completely. The yellow line shows the effect on admissions if the unlocking was to go ahead in late July, with hospitalisations peaking in summer and plummeting by winter. Releasing curbs in June (blue) or early July (red) would have led to a bigger peak in summer, which is why the decision was made to push the original June 21 Freedom Day back by a month

COVID INPATIENTS: The same was true for hospital occupancy levels and, although the graphs don't explicitly show it, the team at Imperial said in some scenarios, delaying the unlocking until December could lead to more deaths. In their paper, they write: 'In some of our modelled scenarios, this long delay paradoxically leads to more total deaths since the third wave would be pushed into the winter, when transmission may be higher because of seasonality and increased indoors interactions, and when an increased proportion of individuals may have lost protection from prior infection'

DAILY HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS: Imperial presented three different modelling of the final unlocking in the roadmap - optimistic, pessimistic and 'central'. Each makes various assumptions about the epidemic, including how fast the virus will take off after lockdown and how well the vaccines will work against transmission and serious illness. In each scenario, the 'sweet spot' appears to be opening in late July (yellow). Any earlier would lead to higher peaks of about 10,000 daily admissions and delaying until December would push the crisis into the winter, where the green line appears to spike upwards quicker than any other scenario

COVID INPATIENTS: The models suggest that there could have been 100,000 patients in hospital with Covid if the country opened up as planned on June 21 — even though there are just 2,000 currently being treated by the NHS. Releasing curbs in late July (yellow) could still lead to a peak of 80,000 patients in hospital, which would be double the peak in January. This  seems increasingly unlikely now that the vaccines have proven to be extremely effective against the Indian variant in the real world

He made the comments at a Downing Street press conference tonight, where Boris Johnson confirmed that most social distancing rules will no longer be mandatory from July 19

Speaking about last night's announcement, Professor Ferguson told the Today Programme: 'This is a slight gamble, it's a slight experiment at the moment, and I think it's justifiable and I'm reasonable optimistic, but policy will have to remain flexible.'

He said the vaccines' effect on hospitalisations and deaths gave him confidence that the NHS will be able to cope despite rising cases, but warned that if infections continue to grow exponentially then hospitals could be pushed to the brink. 

The Government scientific adviser added: 'At the peak of the second wave 50,000 cases would translate into something like 500 deaths, but that's going to be much lower this time, more like 50 or so.

'The challenge is, there's still the potential of getting very large numbers of cases and so if we get very high numbers of cases a day, 150,000 or 200,000 it could still cause some pressure to the health system. 

Time for the bar! From table service to working from home, those changing rules 

Boris Johnson tonight firmed up plans for unlocking England on July 19.

The PM used a press conference to confirm a bonfire of virus rules and restrictions from the so-called Freedom Day, saying individuals will again be able to judge the risks of coronavirus for themselves.

However, he did not have any decisive announcements in key areas, with no date for quarantine requirements to be waived for double-jabbed Brits travelling to 'amber list' countries.

There was also no confirmation that self-isolation can be replaced with testing for the fully-vaccinated.

And although there was a clear intention for bubble rules in schools to be axed, it is not expected to happen until September when the new term starts. 

WHAT THE PM ANNOUNCED: 

Pubs and restaurants 

Hospitality venues in England will no longer be required to collect track and trace data from July 19. Businesses won't have to ask customers to scan a QR code using the NHS phone app on entry or to hand over their contact details, although they will have the option of continuing to do so if they wish. Mandatory table service rules will also be scrapped, meaning drinkers will be able to order at the bar again in pubs.

Masks 

Wearing masks will become voluntary everywhere apart from hospitals and other health facilities from July 19 in England. Public transport passengers, shoppers and those visiting pubs, restaurants, cinemas and theatres will no longer be required by law to cover up. However, people may still be encouraged to wear masks in some enclosed places where they come into close contact with each other, for example on London Tube trains. 

Work from home 

The official guidance telling people to 'work from home if you can' will be scrapped on July 19 in England. But it will be left up to employers and their staff to decide whether they have to go back to their desks. Ministers will not launch a campaign encouraging staff back to the office and are resigned to there not being a mass return to workplaces this summer.

AND WHAT THE PM DIDN'T ANNOUNCE

Holidays 

Ministers have been working on a system to open up holiday destinations for double-jabbed Britons. 

People who have had both vaccine doses could no longer have to quarantine for ten days after visiting amber list countries, such as Spain, France and Greece. 

However, there is not set to be any definitive news on the rules tonight and Government sources have cautioned the July 19 date is 'ambitious'.

TEST AND TRACE

Pressure has been growing for people who have received both coronavirus vaccine doses to be spared isolating at home for ten days if they have come into contact with someone who tested positive. 

They could be offered lateral flow tests to do themselves at home instead. 

However, ministers have not come to a conclusion on whether to go ahead, and it is understood a new system is very unlikely to be in place for July 19.

SCHOOLS

The bubbles system that has seen whole classes or year groups sent home if just one pupil tests positive for coronavirus will be scrapped in England. 

Ministers are planning to announce a new way of handling outbreaks. 

Instead of sending children home en masse, those who have come into contact with a positive case are likely to be given daily tests.

Few expect the arrangements to start until the new school year in September, although Sajid Javid sparked confusion by telling MPs tonight that it could happen on July 19. 

'If we end up in something close to the worst-case scenario we and other groups are looking at, which I think is unlikely but can't be ruled out, then yes there will need to be some course direction later.' 

Professor Whitty and Boris Johnson admitted at last night's briefing that there were no guarantees the NHS will cope this winter without Britain having roll back some lockdown restrictions. 

There are some concerns about the unlocking later this month because cases of the Indian variant are doubling every fortnight – with 27,000 new infections every day and hospital rates already rising. 

Professor Whitty said: 'The winter is inevitably going to be tricky and the NHS is likely to have both Covid and some resurgence of other respiratory viruses that were suppressed by the degree of lockdown last time round.

'So I think we should be realistic and this coming winter may be very difficult for the NHS.'

Asked directly if Covid restrictions could go into reverse, Mr Johnson said he would 'have to take whatever steps we need to do to protect the public'. 

It came despite the PM previously promising the roadmap out of lockdown would be 'irreversible'.   

Outlining the plans for after July 19, Mr Johnson insisted the pandemic 'certainly won't be over' by then.

He urged people not be 'demob happy' the government will no longer issue 'top down' orders. 

Mr Johnson insisted he had to 'balance the risks... the risks of the disease, and the risks of continuing with restrictions'.

'If we don't go ahead now when we we've clearly done so much with the vaccination programme to break the link between infection and death.

'If we don't go ahead now when the summer firebreak is coming up, the school holidays, all the advantages that that should give us in fighting the virus, then the question is, ''when would we go ahead?''.

'Particularly given the likelihood the virus will have an extra advantage in the colder months, in the autumn, and in the winter.

The PM described summer as a 'firebreak' allowing a reopening now, rather than in winter which would be a more 'difficult time' or delaying until next year.

He said: 'If we don't go ahead now when we we've clearly done so much with the vaccination programme to break the link between infection and death.

'If we don't go ahead now when the summer firebreak is coming up, the school holidays, all the advantages that that should give us in fighting the virus, then the question is, 'when would we go ahead?'. 

'Particularly given the likelihood the virus will have an extra advantage in the colder months, in the autumn, and in the winter.

'So we run the risk of either opening up at a very difficult time when the virus has an edge, has an advantage in the colder months, or again putting everything off to next year so I do think it's going to be a very balanced decision next week.'

Mr Johnson said that it is a 'propitious moment' to ease coronavirus restrictions, suggesting it would be harder to end them in the autumn and winter months.

The Prime Minister told the press conference: 'If we do find another variant that doesn't respond to the vaccines, if heaven forbid some really awful new bug should appear, then clearly we will have to take whatever steps we need to do to protect the public.

'But on balance, given the massive success of the vaccine rollout, given the fact that this is a propitious moment, a good moment to do it given the coming summer holidays, the natural firebreak we have there, and given the difficulty of then imagining us opening up in the context of the colder autumn/winter months, I think this is a balanced and cautious approach.' 

The one-metre plus decree and advice to work from home where possible will be dropped, with mask wearing no longer mandatory - while pubs and other venues will not have to collect customer details and will again be able to serve drinks at the bar.

Mr Johnson also said limits on gatherings are going and torpedoed the idea of legally requiring 'Covid certificates' at bars and restaurants, with the vaccination drive instead being trusted to do the heavy lifting of protecting the public.

The news was warmly welcomed by the hospitality industry and other sectors that have been hammered by the crisis.

However, although the premier said he intends to replace self-isolation with testing for anyone who is double jabbed and comes into contact with a positive case, he did not say when that would happen and it is understood it will probably be after July 19. Children would also be covered by the arrangements.

Mr Johnson also said an announcement will be made later in the week on dropping the 'bubble' rules that have been causing chaos in schools. There have been signs that the change will only take effect at the start of next term in September - although Sajid Javid suggested tonight that it could happen this month.

The PM stopped short of confirming that quarantine requirements for 'amber list' countries will be waived for double-jabbed Brits from July 19. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps is expected to make an announcement later in the week.

The plan for the final stage of the roadmap will be subject to a final approval next Monday, although it appears it would take something extraordinary to change the PM's mind at this stage. The UK today recorded another 27,334 cases - up nearly a fifth on the same day last week - but deaths remained in single figures at nine.

The government has also said it will 'maintain contingency plans for reimposing economic and social restrictions at a local, regional or national level' in case the situation deteriorates.

Meanwhile, doubts have been raised over whether mask-wearing will be completely scrapped this month, even though the law will fall away. London Mayor Sadiq Khan has refused to say whether he will keep the rules on the Tube, while Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has demanded a rethink to protect the vulnerable. Unions warned it would be 'gross negligence' to drop the requirement.

Government sources suggested that in theory train companies and businesses could keep demanding face coverings are worn, even if the law is changed. Nicola Sturgeon has also suggested that the rules could continue for longer in Scotland.

Asked whether he would keep wearing masks, Mr Johnson said it would 'depend on the circumstances' - pointing out that a crowded Tube train is very different from a deserted late-night service.

It came as Sajid Javid today admitted coronavirus cases could top 100,000 a day by August, but insisted the 'wall of protection' from vaccines can hold.

The Health Secretary gave the grim figure as he insisted Mr Johnson is right to continue with the dramatic unlocking on July 19, saying the hospitalisations and deaths were what mattered.  

In a round of interviews, Mr Javid revealed that he will be unveiling plans today to allow people who are double-jabbed to sidestep the isolation rules and do daily tests instead. Government insiders have raised doubts about whether the system can be in place for July 19.

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson is also due to set out proposals for scrapping school 'bubble' rules that have been causing huge numbers to stay away from classes.

Mr Javid said that by 'Freedom Day' he expects daily cases to reach 50,000 - nearly double the current level.

'As we ease and go into the summer we expect them to rise significantly and they could go as high as 100,000 case numbers,' he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

'We want to be very straightforward about this... but what matters more than anything is hospitalisation and death numbers. That is where the link has been severely weakened.'

Stockwell Six: Convictions of three black men from 1970s overturned by Court of Appeal - Sky News

Three black men who were jailed for allegedly attempting to rob a corrupt police officer nearly 50 years ago have had their convictions overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Courtney Harriot, Paul Green and Cleveland Davidson, all aged between 17 and 20 at the time, were arrested on the London Underground while travelling from Stockwell station, south London, in February 1972.

The trio, now in their late 60s, and three friends - who became known as the "Stockwell Six" - were put on trial at the Old Bailey, largely on the word of British Transport Police officer Detective Sergeant Derek Ridgewell.

The men were accused of trying to rob Ridgewell, who was in plain clothes and had previously served in the South Rhodesian, now Zimbabwean, police force.

They all pleaded not guilty and told jurors police officers had lied and subjected them to violence and threats.

But Mr Harriot was jailed for three years, Mr Green was convicted of assault to rob and sent to Borstal and Mr Davidson was convicted of related offences.

Their convictions were referred to the Court of Appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission on the basis that there is "a real possibility that the Court of Appeal will now quash those convictions".

Mr Davidson told Sky News: "It was a total stitch up. We were totally stitched up. We were framed up for nothing.

"For 50 years it affected me and I know it affected Paul as well. I haven't been the same. My family didn't believe me. No one believed me."

Now the Court of Appeal has finally cleared Mr Harriot, Mr Green and Mr Davidson's names nearly five decades after they were convicted.

Judge Sir Julian Flaux, sitting with Mr Justice Linden and Mr Justice Wall, said: "It is most unfortunate that it has taken nearly 50 years to rectify the injustice suffered by these appellants."

It is understood that the Criminal Cases Review Commission tried to contact the two other men convicted, Texo Johnson and Ronald De'Souza, but they were not traced.

The sixth man, Everet Mullins, was acquitted.

Ridgewell was involved in a number of high-profile and controversial cases in the early 1970s, culminating in the 1973 acquittals of the "Tottenham Court Road Two" - two young Jesuits studying at Oxford University.

He was then moved into a department investigating mailbag theft, where he joined up with two criminals with whom he split the profits of stolen mailbags.

Ridgewell was eventually caught and jailed for seven years, dying of a heart attack in prison in 1982 at the age of 37.

The case of the Stockwell Six is the third time Ridgewell's corruption has led to wrongful convictions being overturned by the Court of Appeal.

Jenny Wiltshire of Hickman & Rose Solicitors, who represented Mr Harriot, Mr Green and Mr Davidson, said: "While the acquittal of these innocent men is welcome news, it is deeply troubling that it has taken so long to happen.

"These men's entire adult lives have been blighted by false allegations made by a corrupt police officer known to have been dishonest for decades.

"Both the British Transport Police and the Home Office were warned about Ridgewell's lies in 1973. Yet neither organisation did anything except move him to a different police unit.

"Even when Ridgewell was convicted of theft in 1980 they did not look again at the many clearly unsafe criminal convictions which had relied on his witness testimony.

"It is only now, almost half a century on, that the British Transport Police has indicated that it will review Ridgewell's activities.

"For many of Ridgewell's innocent victims and their families it is far too little, far too late."

In January 2018, Stephen Simmons' 1976 conviction for stealing mailbags was quashed after he discovered Ridgewell was jailed for a similar offence just two years after his own conviction.

In December 2019, three members of the "Oval Four" - who were arrested at Oval Underground station in 1972 and accused of stealing handbags by Ridgewell's "mugging squad" - also had their convictions overturned.

Winston Trew, Sterling Christie and George Griffiths were all sentenced to two years, later reduced to eight months on appeal, following a five-week trial at the Old Bailey.

Quashing their convictions, the Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett said there was "an accumulating body of evidence that points to the fundamental unreliability of evidence given by DS Ridgewell ... and others of this specialist group".

UK Covid cases may soar to 100,000 a day, Sajid Javid warns - Financial Times

Health secretary Sajid Javid has warned that daily Covid-19 cases could rocket to a record 100,000 after restrictions are lifted, admitting that the UK was about to enter “uncharted territory”.

Javid said on Tuesday that the number of new daily cases could quadruple during the summer from their current level of about 25,000, meaning that ministers are braced for the virus ripping through the country.

Previously Boris Johnson, prime minister, had said that daily cases could hit 50,000 on July 19, the date at which he hopes to lift almost all remaining restrictions, but Javid expects rates to rise sharply after lockdown measures end.

To offset the economic disruption that would be caused by such a wave of the virus, Javid will on Tuesday announce changes to the self-isolation rules that currently apply to those in contact with people with Covid-19.

The health secretary is expected to tell MPs that people who have had two jabs of the vaccine will no longer need to self-isolate for 10 days if they are “pinged” by the NHS app, but would instead take daily tests.

Gavin Williamson, education secretary, will also announce changes to the self-isolation rules in schools, ending the situation where scores of students have to quarantine if someone in their “bubble” tests positive.

Javid told the BBC that, thanks to the “huge wall of defence” built by the country’s vaccination programme, the number of deaths from the disease were now only one-thirtieth of those the last time daily cases hit 25,000.

Ministers will decide on July 12 whether to press ahead with the final reopening of the economy on July 19, after considering the latest data, but Johnson and Javid expect it to go ahead.

Javid’s admission that cases could surge over the summer to 100,000 a day compares with a previous record seven-day average of 61,240 on January 1 2021. Unvaccinated people, notably the young, will be particularly affected.

Chris Whitty, chief medical officer, on Monday backed the lifting of most restrictions, arguing that it was better to do it over the summer when schools were closed, rather than in the autumn ahead of the flu season.

“At a certain point, you move to the situation where instead of actually averting hospitalisations and deaths, you move over to just delaying them,” he said.

Neil Ferguson, a leading epidemiologist at Imperial College London and government modeller on Covid-19, told the BBC Today programme that the lifting of most restrictions was “a slight gamble” but justified.

“At the peak of the second wave, 50,000 cases would translate into something like 500 deaths, but that’s going to be much, much lower this time, more like 50 or so,” he said.

But he added: “The challenge is, there’s still the potential of getting very large numbers of cases, so if we get very high numbers of cases a day, 150,000 or 200,000, it could still cause some pressure to the health system.”

Ferguson said some kind of “course correction” might be needed later, while Javid pointed out that powers would remain in place for local health officials to reimpose social distancing rules in an emergency.

The government has contingency plans for compulsory Covid certification at mass events in the event of a winter crisis. Javid said he “hoped” the unlocking planned for July 19 would not be reversed.

Last week Javid, soon after replacing Matt Hancock as health secretary, struck a bullish note, saying there was “no going back”. On Tuesday he said: “I hope not, and that’s certainly not in our plan.”

He added: “There may be a variant that comes out in the future that is vaccine resistant. That means the wall of defence that we have built is no longer there.”

The health secretary has been accused by Labour of being “reckless” in planning to remove the legal requirement to wear a mask in certain settings; Javid said he would continue to cover his face in crowded places such as a packed bus or London Underground train.

COVID-19: New Health Secretary Sajid Javid says 'we can't live in a world where the only thing we are thinking about is COVID' - Sky News

Sajid Javid has said we can no longer "live in a world where the only thing we are thinking about is COVID" as he warned that seven million people have not come forward with health problems during the pandemic.

The new health secretary told Sky News the country must "take advantage" of the effectiveness of the vaccines and "learn to live" with the virus.

Live COVID updates from the UK and around the world

"It is not about some number of deaths being acceptable, of course not," Mr Javid said.

"What we are seeing is with rising case numbers - and yesterday I said we could see a doubling of case numbers by the time we get to 19 July - we are not seeing a corresponding increase in hospitalisations and death numbers.

"And that is because the vaccine is working, that is what the vaccine is for.

"And we can't live in a world where the only thing we are thinking about is COVID and not about all the other health problems, not about our economic problems, or education challenges, and we have to make use of a vaccine that is thankfully working."

'This pandemic is far from over'

The health secretary added that it is "shocking" to see "all the other health problems that have built up" during the pandemic.

"Some seven million people have not come forward during the pandemic for help from the NHS with their health problems - seven million people," he said.

"Now just think about all the health problems that have been stored up and we need to treat that as a priority too - it cannot just be about COVID."

Mr Javid's comments came after Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed how he plans to "restore people's freedoms" in England at a news briefing on Monday evening, ahead of the final stage of his roadmap out of lockdown.

The last step of lockdown easing is due to take place on 19 July, subject to the government's four key tests being met, but a decision will be taken as to whether this will go ahead as planned in a week's time.

'Decimated' nightclubs hopeful of 'real Freedom Day'

Should step four proceed on 19 July, it will see:

• No more limits on social contact to allow people to gather in groups of any size
• The removal of the "one metre-plus" rule in almost all settings, apart from specific places such as airports
• All remaining businesses, including nightclubs, able to re-open
• No capacity caps on large-scale events, such as sports matches, theatre shows or concerts
• No more legal requirement on wearing face masks in shops or on public transport
• The government will no longer require people to work from home
• No more limits on the number of people who are able to visit care home residents

Speaking at the news briefing on Monday, the PM warned a further delay to ending lockdown measures would "run the risk of either opening up at a very difficult time when the virus has an edge" or "putting everything off to next year".

He added: "We must be honest with ourselves that if we can't reopen our society in the next few weeks, when we will be helped by the arrival of summer and by the school holidays, then we must ask ourselves: when will we be able to return to normal?"

Mr Javid told Sky News he is "very comfortable" with the PM's decision to drop almost all COVID restrictions as the country is in a position to do so due to the successful vaccine rollout.

Reaction to change in mask rules

However, the health secretary warned that there is "a real risk" of a "vaccine-resistant variant" emerging at some point.

"One concern that is still there, and this is throughout the world, is that there will be new variants," Mr Javid said.

"And I think no one can rule out there won't be further variants of COVID and no one will know what they will look like.

"There is a risk, and I think it is a real risk, of some kind of vaccine-resistant variant. There is no sign of that yet anywhere, but I think it is something that no one can rule out."

He added that is why it is "sensible" for the government to retain some powers.
