That’s all for the UK coronavirus blog today - updates will be continuing on our global blog into the evening. You can also follow the latest developments on the incident in Glasgow, in which a suspect was shot dead by police and a 42-year-old police officer was among those injured. Evening summary The latest coronavirus news from across the UK today: A further 186 people die from Covid-19 in the UK. The total number of deaths, according to this mode of calculation, is 43,414. Boris Johnson tells people to stop ‘taking too many liberties’ on lockdown easing. After a major incident was declared on the south coast yesterday due to large crowds on the beaches, the prime minister warned the public the “the virus is still out there”. Council workers appeal for calm after “frightening” levels of abuse on beaches. The GMB union said its members employed by Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch Council were subjected to verbal abuse and threats of physical violence. Social care workers at increased risk of death from coronavirus, ONS finds. Men working in social care in England and Wales are 2.5 times more likely to die from Covid-19 than working-age men as a whole, the Office for National Statistics has found. Millions went hungry during first months of UK lockdown, figures show. Government figures have revealed that lack of money forced millions of people to go hungry or rely on food banks during the first few weeks of the coronavirus lockdown, with families and young adults worst affected. Shopping centre owner Intu collapses into administration. The company, whose centres include Lakeside in Essex, the Trafford Centre in Manchester and Gateshead’s Metrocentre, has debts of more than £4.5bn and has been unable to persuade lenders to grant a debt repayment holiday ahead of a Friday night deadline. Death rate from Covid-19 in England’s hospitals in falling, experts say. The University of Oxford’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine studied deaths in hospital in England and found that the number of people in hospital with coronavirus is reducing by 2.4% every day - halving every 29 days. Health chiefs urge UK public to cooperate with contact tracers. Health chiefs said there was “a real reluctance among some British people” to provide the details of people they have been close with and may have infected. Improve test and trace before schools reopen, Sage report says. Fully reopening schools without substantial improvements in the performance of the test-and-trace system could risk a new surge in cases of Covid-19, according to calculations by the government’s scientific advisers. Hardline policing may provoke civil unrest, government warned Political leaders taking a draconian line on how police should respond to unrest lifts risk fanning the flames of disorder as the coronavirus lockdown lifts, the government was warned on Friday. After days of tension between police officers and the public culminated in 22 officers being injured in a confrontation with residents attending an outdoor party in Brixton on Wednesday, the home secretary met with Met chief Cressida Dick to demand a “full explanation” of the circumstances of the incident. Her intervention was seen as a sign of hardening determination in the government to respond sternly to disorder. Over the past two weeks there have been two illegal raves in greater Manchester, street parties in London broken up by police amid isolated pockets of violence, and tens of thousands of people at beaches on the south coast, leading Bournemouth council to declare a “major incident”. Tim Newburn, professor of Criminology and Social Policy at the LSE who led the Reading The Riots collaboration with the Guardian following unrest in 2011, said political leaders “talking about crackdowns and firm policing” was “really fantastically unhelpful.”He said: It tells young people that there’s likely to be conflict so be ready for it, but it also restricts the freedom of the police to act,” he said. Taking the Colston statue incident as an example, he said: “If you say a particular kind of behaviour will be met with the full force of the law it puts operational commanders in a very difficult position. “What is needed at the moment is clear and firm messaging about the rules around the pandemic, but allowing police to exercise their judgement in difficult circumstances. That’s been lost.” Fully reopening schools without substantial improvements in the performance of the test-and-trace system could risk a new surge in cases of Covid-19, according to calculations by the government’s scientific advisers. A report presented to the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) on 20 May, at a time when the government was weighing up the impact of school reopening in England, indicated little leeway for increasing school attendance and relaxing other physical distancing measures without a test-and-trace system that reaches 80% of contacts within 48 hours. “Highly effective contact tracing would give us much more room to manoeuvre, but that even in that scenario, if all schools are reopened, some kind of social distancing would still be required,” the scientists suggest. The scientists caution that the modelling is not designed to give precise predictions – and circumstances have changed since the calculations were made. But as a general indication of the importance of test and trace, the model suggested that with highly effective contact tracing it would be possible to fully reopen schools and resume social contacts at 60% of normal levels without the “R” rate returning above the critical value of 1. With only ineffective contact tracing (20% of contacts reached), active work and leisure contacts would need to stay at 20% of normal levels for schools to fully reopen and avoid an uptick in cases. There is a “very real danger” the government’s failure to provide enough support to the theatre industry will result in venue closures, a theatre boss has said. Tamara Harvey, who is the artistic director of Theatr Clwyd in Mold, north Wales, said that time is “short” and venues urgently need assistance. She added that the impact of coronavirus has been “absolutely disastrous” for theatres. She told the PA news agency: There is a very real danger that unless the government gives us a timeline and gives us a serious investment package very soon, more theatres and more individuals will reach the point of no return. We talk about the venues and the buildings because they are more immediately visible because of their size, but this is also about the majority of the people who make the shows work - the freelancers. They are “the lifeblood of theatre in this country and they are the reason that we are world-class leaders in culture”, Harvey said, adding that freelancers are “waiting for any indication as to whether the government will continue to invest in them”. She added that there is still time for the government to prevent theatres from going under. “It is too late for some... but it is not too late to save the sector,” she said. Harvey added that Government support would be an “investment”. We are not asking for a handout with no return. Our contribution as a sector, our economic contribution, is massive. Our contribution in terms of the health and well-being of society is equal to that if not greater. Earlier this week the Theatre Royal in Newcastle announced plans to make half of its staff redundant and the Theatre Royal Plymouth said they are starting consultations about job losses following a plunge in revenues. On Thursday, the culture secretary Oliver Dowden set out a five-page plan for the reopening of theatres, where live performances are currently banned. He said he “desperately” wants live performances to resume in theatres and concert venues, adding he is “determined to ensure the performing arts do not stay closed longer than is absolutely necessary”. Venues have been entitled to government support such as the furlough scheme and loans. Two primary schools are in a “stand-off” with a county council after their plans to get children back to school were rejected. Angry parents have started a petition and staged a protest outside a council building on Friday morning. Kingslea and Heron Way primary schools in Horsham, West Sussex, said there had been “unwavering support from the whole school community” for their plans to bring back Years 2 to 5 this coming Monday. However, at the last minute the plans had to be postponed, after West Sussex County Council raised an objection. The schools would be open to possible litigation issues if they pushed ahead. Mother-of-three Mary Bennison, whose daughter Kitty, 10, had been excited to go back to school, says it is crucial that all pupils get some time back in school before the summer holidays. Speaking to the PA news agency, Bennison, 41, said: It’s about the social and mental wellbeing of our children. This was about them having some resolve for the end of the year. Our children have their own lives at school and they have had that completely taken away from them. I know the school have worked really hard to facilitate a system so they could get the year groups all back, obviously only for a limited time. The core issue, Bennison told PA, seems to be that the schools and West Sussex county council have different interpretations of government guidance. She added: “I would like to think that we resolve what has now become this stand-off in terms of the Department for Education telling us one thing and the council having a different interpretation.” A council spokesman said: We have been supporting all West Sussex schools to follow government guidance and prioritise provision for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6, as well as continue to give places to children who are vulnerable, disadvantaged and those of key workers. The latest national guidance is clear that this should be on a full-time basis for these core groups, and that only if schools then have additional capacity they can accommodate pupils from other year groups, if their own risk assessment shows this can be safely managed. We have made this clear to all schools, including Kingslea and Heron Way, who decided to go against this advice in inviting all pupils to return on a part-time basis without consulting with us, something neither the Department for Education or the council is able to support. Everyone involved in education in West Sussex shares the same aim, to get children back to school as soon as the national health advice shows it can be done safely. In a letter to parents on Thursday seen by PA, Kingslea head teacher Alexis Conway and chairman of the governors James King informed them that the wider school reopening had been postponed. However, they criticised the council’s stance, pointing to the part of the government guidance which states: “Schools are not required to use this guide, and may choose to follow alternative approaches to preparing for wider opening, or to use some sections of this guidance alongside other approaches.” In a joint statement, the head teachers of the two primary schools said: “Wellbeing is the school’s top priority and there has been unwavering support from the whole school community for the plans that both schools had in place to open the school to Year 2 to year 5 from Monday June 29.” A Department for Education spokesman said: “Primary schools have the flexibility to welcome children from other year groups back into the classroom, Labour leader Keir Starmer said the government was “losing control of the communications” after crowds flocked to beaches during the hot weather this week. I’m really worried about the scenes we’ve seen from some of our beaches with overcrowding. This dates back to Dominic Cummings and that affair, where essentially the government had a message that the public read as one rule for them, another for us. The prime minister has to take responsibility for this. When he was asked about this in parliament ... the prime minister simply said ‘show some guts, support your communities’. He urged Boris Johnson to “up your game on communications because this is very serious”. Boris Johnson tells people to stop "taking too many liberties" on lockdown easing Boris Johnson urged people to stop “taking too many liberties with the guidance” after a major incident was declared on the south coast yesterday, warning people “the virus is still out there”. The prime minister said on Friday: Let me be very clear about the scenes in Bournemouth - it’s very important for people to understand if you look at what’s happening elsewhere in the world where people have been coming out of lockdown. I’m afraid what you’re also seeing is people taking too many liberties with the guidance, mingling too much, not observing social distancing. In some parts of the world - I won’t name them - you’ve got really serious spikes in the instances of the diseases. Earlier today a Number 10 spokesman said the government would not be closing beaches, other than in the form of localised lockdowns if there are spikes in certain areas, and said it was up to local authorities to control the crowds. “It’s crucial people understand that on 4 July we get this right and we do this in a balanced way and we recognise the risks,” Johnson added. You may think you’re not going to get it and you’re immortal and invincible and so on. And very likely that’s true, particularly if you’re a young person. “But the bug you carry can kill elderly people particularly. It’s still dangerous. The virus is still out there. With the virus now more under control – at least for now – Boris Johnson will use a major speech next week to switch the focus back to the “people’s priorities” of December’s Tory manifesto: including a rash of infrastructure projects aimed at “levelling up” Britain. “We’re going to be building loads of stuff,” said one Whitehall source. Some of the priorities, including a major boost to road-building, and a series of green investments such as electric vehicle charging, were already announced by Rishi Sunak in March. But Johnson is expected to push ahead with other plans, including building more of the 40 new hospitals promised during the election campaign – and potentially also handing schools pots of money to be spent on improving their buildings. With an urgent need to create jobs, as sectors hardest hit by the shutdown accelerate layoffs, relatively small-scale projects can be started much more quickly than the high-profile cable cars and bridges Johnson has tended to prefer in the past. Environmental projects such as refurbishing homes to make them more energy efficient – lagging lofts, for example – also create large numbers of jobs, rapidly. And they have the advantage of being geographically well-spread, giving Tory MPs up and down the country tangible benefits to point to in the run-up to the 2024 general election. Conservative backbenchers, including even some from the 2019 intake who owe their seats to Johnson, have grumbled in recent weeks about what they regard as shaky leadership by a centralised and insular No 10 operation. Many would cheer the prospect of increased investment in grassroots projects. Another three cases of coronavirus have been confirmed at a meat processing factory in the Midlands. Tulip Ltd confirmed on Friday that three employees, including two from the same household, had tested positive after a fresh batch of tests were carried out on more than 100 staff on Monday. All three, alongside other employees who may have been infected during close contact, are isolating at home. The company said it was continuing to work with Public Health England Midlands, the Health and Safety Executive, the local NHS and Sandwell council, after confirmation of other coronavirus cases last week. Dr Lisa McNally, Sandwell’s director of public health, said: We have now proactively tested 104 staff at Tulip Ltd for coronavirus and have had three positive cases. Tulip has asked a further 16 employees to isolate at home as a precautionary measure. The site has had a number of cases since the outbreak of Covid-19 in the UK and are able to report that they have all returned to work safely. We will be conducting further testing across the workforce in the coming days so that we can identify and isolate any further positive cases.
