Double-vaxxed Saj tests positive: who’s getting pinged?

As the government prepares to lift nearly all legal Covid restrictions on Monday, ministers are at pains to emphasise that the pandemic is not over. A helpful reminder can be found in the news that Sajid Javid has today tested positive.

In a video posted on Twitter, the Health Secretary — who is double jabbed — said he took a lateral flow test after feeling a ‘bit groggy’ on Friday evening, but his symptoms are ‘very mild’.

Given around a million Brits were told to self-isolate in the first week of July alone, perhaps it’s a taste of things to come.
