Boris Johnson is due to confirm on Monday (12 July) that all remaining Covid restrictions will be removed on 19 July, but he will also urge “caution” due to rapidly rising cases of the coronavirus.

Elsewhere, data reportedly suggests 12 countries are set to be moved on to the green list later this week, while Virgin boss Richard Branson has finally reached the “edge of space” on a Virgin Galactic flight.
