Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been warned by scientists that separate households meeting under one roof is a main contributor to a sudden increase in Covid-19 cases.He is believed to have been advised that putting an end to “support bubble” rules which allow the public to visit each other at their respective homes may need to be axed as a consequence.Current rules allow up to 30 people from two households to meet indoors – with the measure only coming in to effect last month when lockdown began to ease.However, the Office for National Statistics revealed last week that cases of coronavirus patients testing positive for the disease had hit 4,200 per day at the end of July – more than double the 2,000 positive results per day recorded at

'Incompetence goes from being embarrassing to potentially deadly': How confused, chaotic messaging on northern Coronavirus measures could cost lives

At today’s Downing Street press conference on the ramped-up coronavirus measures announced for much of the north, Boris Johnson addressed the question of messaging.Until a vaccine emerges, he said, ‘the only real utensil we have for controlling the spread of this new virus is human behaviour’.“And the only way we can encourage people to behave in one way or another is through advice…We need to keep it as simple as we possibly can.”And yet what Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and East Lancashire have been told to do over the last 24 hours doesn’t really fall into the category of simplicity or clarity.When the news emerged - late on last night, via Twitter and a Sky News interview with the health secretary - it was mired in contradictory
