More than 1,000 doctors want to leave NHS over government’s mishandling of coronavirus

More than 1,000 doctors have said they are planning to leave the NHS due to the government’s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic and frustration over wages, according to new research

A survey by the Doctors’ Association UK (DAUK) found two-thirds of respondents had plans to move abroad, switch to the private sector or take a career break within the next three years.

Dr Samantha Batt-Rawden, the DAUK president, warned medics were “battered, bruised and burned out” from the crisis.

Labour calls for review of airport testing to help travel industry

Labour has called for a review of airport testing to help the struggling travel industry by potentially reducing the need for 14-day self-isolation periods for travellers.

Nick Thomas-Symonds, the shadow home secretary, said there had been “dire warnings” from the travel sector about the use of blanket self-isolation advice and it was time to look again at the policy.

Mr Thomas-Symonds said he had “serious concerns” about the low-level of monitoring of incoming travellers, arguing “less than a third of passenger locator forms are checked”.

He has called on ministers to carry out a “rapid review” of the current protocols and consider introducing more testing at airports.

“I write to call for a rapid review to fix chaotic quarantine arrangements that are losing public confidence and undermining our ability to keep people safe and save jobs,” Mr Thomas-Symonds wrote in a letter to home secretary Priti Patel.

“In order to rebuild this trust I am calling on government to undertake a review into quarantine policy, to report within a fortnight.

“It should include outlining options for a robust testing regime in airports, and related follow up tests, that could help to safely minimise the need for 14 day quarantine.”

A government spokesperson said ministers were taking “clear and decisive action” to slow the spread of Covid-19 and infection data from all countries and territories was under constant review.

Tougher coronavirus restrictions introduced in Bolton

Tougher coronavirus restrictions have been introduced in Bolton following a spike in cases, as young people have been urged to take responsibility for their actions during the pandemic.

Bolton Council said the new restrictions were being brought in to prevent a local lockdown after the town’s infection rate increased to 99 cases per 100,000 people per week - the highest in England.

The local authority added that those aged between 18 and 49 accounted for more than 90 per cent of the cases.

On Saturday, Judith Blake, the leader of Leeds City Council, urged young people to “recognise their own responsibility” in reducing the spread of the virus.

Bolton Council said it was introducing tougher measures “with immediate effect”, with people asked not to mix with other households in any setting, either indoors or outdoors, and to only use public transport for essential purposes.

“Now, more than ever, we need everyone in Bolton to play their part,” council leader David Greenhalgh and chief executive Tony Oakman said in a joint statement.

“Nobody wants these restrictions to remain a moment longer than necessary and we believe these new measures will keep everyone safe and help avoid a full lockdown in Bolton.

“Alongside a range of additional measures and interventions across Bolton we are asking everyone, particularly the younger age groups, to continue to follow the guidelines.”

Foreign secretary Dominic Raab has admitted that people in the UK are likely to continue doing some work from home in the future but warned the economy needed people back in workplaces.

Mr Raab told The Andrew Marr Show that remote working was “damaging to the economy” and could affect the recovery from the pandemic.

Strategy needed for ‘huge logistical exercise’ of university return, Labour minister says

The return of students to university is a “huge logistical exercise” against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, Labour’s shadow home secretary has said.

Nick Thomas-Symonds has called for leadership from ministers on the issue and a clear strategy to ensure testing and tracking of cases can be done effectively.

“It's clearly a huge logistical exercise to move a million people and that's what we're talking about in terms of students,” Mr Thomas-Symonds told The Andrew Marr Show.

“I'm afraid there is a running theme with the government - there has to be a strategy and plan in place, whether we're talking about a return to offices, care homes earlier in the year, whether we're now talking about universities.

“What we need going forward is to ensure we do have the test, track and isolate strategy properly set up.”

The push to get workers back into offices at the same time as bringing children back to schools will put the UK’s testing system “under strain”, a professor has warned.

Devi Sridhar, a professor of global public health at the University of Edinburgh, said a new national lockdown was “unlikely” but she had concerns about the possibility of the testing system being overwhelmed.

‘No silver bullet’ for airport safety, Raab says

Foreign secretary Dominic Raab has dismissed Labour's call for a review of airport testing and argued there is not a “silver bullet” for safe travel during the pandemic.

“Let's just be clear about this when we think about airports - there is no silver bullet in airports,” Mr Raab told The Andrew Marr Show.

“The current data suggests that the success rate of positively identifying people with Covid with a test in the airport is less than 10 per cent.”

The foreign secretary was then asked about findings which showed those numbers increase if passengers are tested again seven days later.

Mr Raab replied: “There is no silver bullet in the airport alone and that's why we have the quarantine.

“So, the direction of travel will be making sure we have the capacity and the ability for when the time is right to ease up on the self-isolation at home, and that's certainly something that we'll be looking at.”

Lockdown extended until October in Australia’s second-largest city

The premier of Australia's Victoria state has announced a slight easing of restrictions in Melbourne but said the country’s second-largest city will remain in lockdown until at least 26 October.

Daniel Andrews said the nightly curfew in the area would start an hour later at 9pm and run until 5am from 13 September.

Two hours of daily exercise will also be allowed, while people living alone will be able to nominate a friend or family member who can visit them.

Mr Andrews said further restrictions could be eased from 28 September and the government would consider lifting the curfew entirely from 26 October.

“We can't run out of lockdown. We have to take steady and safe steps out of lockdown to find that Covid normal,” he said.

The announcement came after state police charged a protester with assault following violence at an anti-lockdown rally in the city on Saturday.

Police said seven others had been charged with breaching Covid-19 restrictions after about 200 gathered at the Shrine of Remembrance and Albert Park.

“Despite all the warnings, it was disappointing to see individuals turn out to protest in the city, putting the lives of Victorians at risk,” a police statement said.

Health officials reported 63 new cases and five more deaths in Victoria on Sunday, bringing the state's total fatalities to 666 and the national death toll to 753.

Commons speaker calls for daily tests of MPs to increase capacity in parliament

House of Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has said he wants MPs to be tested every day if parliament is to return to the packed scenes from before the pandemic.

There are currently strict rules in force to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in parliament, with the number of people allowed in both chambers limited to allow for social distancing of two metres.

Sir Lindsay said he and Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Commons leader, had ruled out the use of masks to reduce the distance required but the speaker added that he had lobbied for daily testing to allow for more participation in debates.

“To be quite honest with you, I'd like to do it daily, not weekly. The problem is weekly testing doesn't tell you anything,” he told Times Radio.

“I'll be quite honest with you, I've made approaches to the NHS and government to say, look, why can't we have a testing system?”

He added: “What we would need is a quick turnaround of tests in order that we can get MPs in.

“We're looking at it. I personally would have had the heat screening equipment in to test temperatures.”

The former Labour MP also expressed doubts over Boris Johnson’s desire to see parliament return to its pre-Covid ways soon.

“We are a Covid-secure workplace - if we were to lose that status, the game is over," Sir Lindsay said.

“It's about working in an efficient way. If people don't need to be here, why would we have them here.”
