As the so-called freedom day approaches, restrictions are easing across England despite the rise in case numbers. Its thought that, while the Delta variant continues to pose a risk, the low number of hospitalisations still means that it's safe to unlock. Sajid Javid is expected to speak in the House of Commons at around 12.30pm. Health Minister Jo Churchill is currently listed for the lunchtime spot, but its thought Javid will use it to discuss the latest Covid restrictions. Immediately after that, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson will formally announce plans to axe school bubbles for Covid contacts from July 19. The announcement will be shown on BBC Parliament at 12.30pm, and live on iPlayer. Key information will likely be shown on the BBC News channel, and on news bulletins throughout the day. Sajid Javid is likely to introduce new self-isolation rules for double-vaccinated Brits. Its thought the minister could announce that fully-vaccinated people will not have to participate in 10 days of self-isolation if they come into contact with a Covid sufferer. He told BBC Breakfast that the announcement will include a more proportionate system of test, trace and isolate.  And it is absolutely right that those whove been double jabbed, we can take a different approach than the one we take today.  The Health Secretary was coy about the details, however, saying that the public has to wait for my statement to Parliament later today.
