It is official: those omnipresent two-metre warning signs can be taken down next week, because social distancing is being scrapped. The decision paves the way for groups of more than six people from multiple households to hang out indoors, and for nightclubs to get the smoke machines back on. Legally, yes. But Boris Johnson is set to announce that the Government expects and recommends face coverings to be worn in crowded areas, such as public transport. No, you can dance with your face on full show. Instead of mask-wearing in such settings, the Government is recommending that businesses and large events use certification as a basis of entry to venues deemed high risk, especially when prevalence of coronavirus is high as it is currently. Pretty much, except it will not be mandatory, only recommended. To gain entry to venues choosing to go down the certification route, punters must be able to show proof of having been fully vaccinated at least two weeks prior, evidence of a negative lateral flow test in the past two days, or a positive PCR test in the past six months to confirm a level of immunity to Covid-19. Possibly. The Government is not being prescriptive about what venues fit its description, so it will be up to venue management or landlords themselves to decide whether vaccine passports are necessary to guarantee the safety of staff and patrons. That is right. And the side-effect of that is that you will still be able to be pinged by the contact tracing app and will have to self-isolate if NHS Test and Trace finds you have been in close contact with a positive case. However, that requirement will be abolished on August 16 for those double jabbed and those who are under the age of 18. Testing will still be available after July 19, while hotel quarantine will continue to be enforced for those UK residents travelling back from red listed countries. That will not be the advice coming from Government. The guidance will be for everyone to return to their workplace, but just not all at once. Downing Street is recommending a gradual return over the summer. The Prime Minister is preparing to tell the nation that his tests for unlocking have been met but that the pandemic is not over. Mr Javid told MPs that  fuelled by the Delta variant, first identified in India, the daily Covid case rate could rise to 100,000 per day, but said the Government is confident that the vaccination programme has severely weakened the link between cases, hospital admissions and deaths, meaning the NHS will not be overwhelmed. Mr Johnson, at a press conference on Monday, will stress that caution and restraint are more important than ever as the country transitions from being told how to behave, to being afforded personal responsibility. They will be given fuller advice on Monday or Tuesday, but the crux of the recommendations will be for those in that category to get fully vaccinated, meet others outdoors, meet only with others who have been vaccinated and to check their eligibility for ongoing support schemes.
