Week Ahead (1/2)

UK
  • The two key events for the UK fall at opposite ends of the week. On Monday we will find out the extent to which Covid restrictions will end in England from 19 July while on Friday we will receive May monthly activity data, giving us our best idea yet of the sustainability of the recovery.
  • It has appeared increasingly likely that the government will end all legal restrictions relating to Covid-19 with an announcement due this afternoon and for the decision to be effective in two weeks from 19 July. The press has suggested this will include ends to legal requirements to wear face masks (although they may still be recommended on public transport) and social distancing rules will be dropped. The Telegraph reported that the work from home rule guidance will be removed but that there would not be accompanying recommendations to return to the office (unlike last summer after the first lockdown). Instead there will be more discretion given to businesses and employees. The other major change is likely to be surrounding isolation for people who come into contact with a confirmed case of Covid-19. At present confirmed contacts must self isolate for 10 days (irrespective of vaccination status). The press report this requirement will be removed for those who have received both vaccine doses (and potentially for those under-18) who instead will be able to take daily lateral flow tests which (assuming they are negative) will allow 24 hours of activity with no restriction.
