Here s a summary of today s Covid-19 headlines:
Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak are both in self-isolation after getting pinged by the NHS Covid app and reversing course on an earlier plan to avoid isolation through a daily contact testing pilot scheme.
Standard face coverings are just comfort blankets  that do little to reduce the spread of Covid particles, a scientist advising Sage on ventilation has said.
An independent group of scientists that regularly criticises the Government for not introducing tougher Covid-19 restrictions is being run by a body which boasted last week that it is good at creating havoc and was founded by an activist journalist accused of peddling conspiracy theories about Brexit, The Telegraph can disclose.
