The i reports that a rise in COVID rule-breaking has prompted officials to launch a new campaign encouraging people to “stay at home” as lockdown fatigue kicks in.

The i reports that letters have been sent out inviting those aged 65 to 69 and the clinically vulnerable to get their COVID-19 vaccinations.

The i reveals what it says is on the government’s road map for the UK to escape lockdown.

The i reports on the upheaval in the NHS caused by the pandemic, saying millions of patients are waiting for routine procedures.

The i points to the Bristol variant of COVID-19, saying fears over its spread have prompted ministers to introduce harsh new penalties for those who break the travel rules.

New jabs are on the way that will tackle new COVID-19 variants, the i says, after news that the Oxford vaccine may struggle against the South African mutation.
