Coronavirus could be eradicated from the UK by Christmas , says one of the country 's top microbiologists .
Professor Hugh Pennington , emeritus professor of bacteriology at Aberdeen University , said if mass testing and contact tracing was ramped up Britain may be clear of Covid-19 by the end of the year .
But the academic was scathing about government efforts so far to tackle the virus .
`` I would give the UK and Scottish governments five out of ten over the way they have handled this .
This big mistake was on March 12 when they decided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ curve and give up mass testing and contact tracing , '' he said .
`` The policy was taken , it seems to me , because of a lack of testing capacity and it was wrong .
I think it was a bad policy judgement .

`` At the moment we are past the peak , but not on a significantly downward trend , the virus is at a sort of a plateau just below the peak .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the moment and we need to get it down ten fold .
`` If we do a lot more testing and contact tracing by Christmas we could get it eradicated in the UK .
That is what has happened in China and South Korea and New Zealand look like they have got there too .

But the academic was scathing about government efforts so far to tackle the virus.
"I would give the UK and Scottish governments five out of ten over the way they have handled this. This big mistake was on March 12 when they decided the policy was to just flatten the curve and give up mass testing and contact tracing," he said.
"The policy was taken, it seems to me, because of a lack of testing capacity and it was wrong. I think it was a bad policy judgement. They could have used university labs, more NHS labs and others much sooner.

Thermal imaging cameras are to be used at Heathrow to check passengers for coronavirus.
The cameras will be used as part of a trial at the airport which is also looking to introduce contactless security measures and UV sanitation to ensure travellers are safe.
Data from the trials, and whether the measures prove medical effective, will be shared with Government and industry and could lead to the creation of a Common International Standard for health screening.

Fighters will also be banned from spitting in the ring but will be able to use spit buckets in the corner.
The referee and trainers will be required to wear masks, as will fighters when they walk to the ring.

thedailymirror--2020-05-07--What relaxing lockdown will look like - from schools and transport to new fines

The UK has been in lockdown for six weeks .
Hundreds of people are still dying each day from coronavirus .
But now that we 're past the peak , Boris Johnson will lay out a `` roadmap '' on Sunday 10 May for how lockdown will be eased .
He will change very little immediately - and wo n't end lockdown in one go .
But some changes will take effect from Monday 11 May `` if possible '' .
And in the long term , his plan will give us a clearer picture of what the UK will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new , coronavirus-scarred world .
The Mirror understands a draft 50-page plan has been drawn up to get the country back to normal .
The Government 's blueprint aims to to relax the lockdown in staggered steps between now and October .
Schools and outdoor activities are set to resume within weeks , while pubs and restaurants look doomed to stay closed for months .
Meanwhile the furlough scheme will be `` wound down '' after June , fines for breaching lockdown will rise , and you could be told to cover @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will reopen , what will stay shut - and how will your everyday life change ?
We 've explained the timeline and all the main proposals below .
Sign up for the Mirror Politics newsletter at www.mirror.co.uk/email - in your inbox at 8.30am to navigate the day ahead .
The Prime Minister will lay out his roadmap for ending lockdown on Sunday 10 May .
He will give an address to the nation at 7pm , with more details and a Parliamentary statement to follow on Monday .
Some measures will be lifted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if we possibly can '' .
But lockdown will not `` end '' all in one go .
Immediate measures on Monday are likely to be only very minor and we do n't know yet what they 'll be .
Experts say some closures or social distancing will last until 2021 , when we 're likely to have a vaccine .
Cabinet minister Michael Gove warned : `` Ultimately , unless and until we have a vaccine , then I suspect we ’ re going to have to live with some degree of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus . ''
Meanwhile , the legal date to review the lockdown is Thursday 7 May .
That review will keep restrictions in place - but no detail will be announced on that day .
Will we be given specific dates ?
This seems unlikely .
The Irish government has spelt out five phases each with a target date between May and August .
But while Downing Street has n't denied using `` phases '' , they probably wo n't have a specific date .
Instead Boris Johnson ’ s spokesman said : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do as we make changes is monitor the impact those changes are having upon the R rate in particular .
“ And once we have that information , we ’ ll obviously be able to judge if and when we ’ re in a position to go further.
” What are the proposed dates ?
According to a draft plan seen by the Mirror , from the start of June , primary schools in England would have a phased return .
Households could also be allowed to expand their “ social bubble ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friends .
At the end of June , secondary schools would return , some outdoor activities and cafes .
Then , pubs and restaurants could reopen at the end of August or early September .
The final stage of lifting restrictions , which could include the opening of gyms and and the return of fans to Premier League matches , is the least predictable .
Earmarked for October , it is being fiercely debated , amid fears of a second wave of Covid-19 or a flu outbreak .
The Sun reports gyms face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while playgrounds are also poised to stay shut .
What will the roadmap talk about ?
It will spell out how the lockdown changes in phases over time .
It may have a `` traffic light '' system spelling out what you can and ca n't do as restrictions lift .
The plan would also drop the government 's `` stay at home '' branding in favour of a more subtle message .
But it will also make clear that the UK is not returning to `` business as usual '' .
Some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - like fines for breaches - will be made harsher than they are now .
While people are put back on public transport and in some workplaces , there will be strict social distancing to keep people two metres apart .
People are likely to be advised to cover their faces , and will be told to use an NHS phone app that alerts you if you 've come into close contact with the virus .
How does the R number , 'test , track and trace ' and five tests come into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number is the average number of people infected by each Covid-19 carrier .
It has to be low enough for each stage of the roadmap to begin .
Currently R is between 0.6 and 0.9 because so many people are out of contact with each other .
Every time you relax a lockdown rule , R rises again .
Ministers say they wo n't do anything that pushes the R number back above 1 .
The UK must also pass five tests before easing lockdown : • The NHS is able to cope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peak that overwhelms NHS To help pass all these tests there is a 'test , track and trace ' strategy planned for launch at the middle of May .
It will mean downloading an NHS app which tells you if you 've been near a Covid-19 carrier - and ensuring you isolate quickly if you 're put at risk to stop it spreading further .
More on this below .
So what will the plan say ?
Schools will reopen in a `` phased '' way - with some year groups likely to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to remain at home .
Boris Johnson has signalled he wants primary schools to be the first to return , and it is likely that Year 6 will be the first to return .
Years 10 and 12 would then be the first back in secondary schools , according to one plan .
Priority could also be put on pupils with special educational needs .
Teachers need time to put social distancing in place , including reorganising classrooms to keep children 2 metres apart .
Sources suggest this will begin as early as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if all pupils will be back before September .
Arts students will be the last to return , with students of medicine , dentistry and veterinary science prioritised in the autumn , according to the Sunday Times .
Thirty-three universities are working on a contingency plan to fast-track students of the key sciences back to campus .
The number of trains will slowly rise as lockdown eases , to avoid overcrowding .
Hand sanitiser and one-way systems would be placed on the network , with spacing at platforms and bus stops “ clearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ metres apart .
New timetables will be introduced as planned in May , even though trains will not run to them straight away .
Firms would be urged to stagger workers ' start times to spread out the rush out .
But London mayor Sadiq Khan has warned capacity could be overwhelmed .
A double decker London bus would have to have just 15 passengers .
Meanwhile the government has hinted at more support for Cycle to Work , a tax break scheme where you can buy a bicycle over a year through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ markings to ensure people are two metres apart , according leaked draft guidance .
The guidance could also recommend staggered arrival times and breaks , fewer people in lifts and regular deep cleaning .
According to BuzzFeed News , other draft measures for workplaces include : • Having more entrances into the workplace • None Alternatives to touch-based security devices such as keypads • Washing uniforms on site rather than at home • Reducing maximum occupancy for lifts , providing hand sanitiser for the operation of lifts and encouraging use of stairs • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further apart from each other But workers would in some cases be allowed to sit less than two metres apart - despite the risk being 10 to 30 times higher at one metre than two metres .
Not all workers would go back to the office if they do n't need to .
Government advisors have previously said working from home could become the new normal until there 's a vaccine for coronavirus .
At the moment , 6.3m workers are having their wages paid by the state - up to 80 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sunak has warned this is not sustainable because it costs as much as the NHS .
The furlough scheme runs in full up to the end of June and will then be `` wound down '' .
Officials appear to be looking at cutting the amount to workers and the self-employed or limiting it only to certain sectors .
This has sparked fears some will lose out .
The future of the furlough scheme wo n't be announced on Sunday .
Sources said it would be in the week or two weeks after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Picnics , golf course , tennis and going outdoors People will be allowed to exercise more than once a day , drive to the countryside and have picnics , according to the Mail on Sunday .
And the Daily Mail claims golf courses , tennis courts and fishing lakes will reopen from June too .
You 'd still have to be with members of your own household only , and keep two metres away from other groups .
No10 has not confirmed these reports .
But ministers and scientists have repeatedly said outdoor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - indicating they 'll be the first to be allowed back .
Supermarkets would doubtless keep many of the social distancing measures they 've already put in place .
And opening hours could be increased on Sunday to reduce overcrowding .
Boris Johnson has said he 's looking at relaxing Sunday trading laws to reduce queues on the weekend .
Building sites were never told to close under lockdown guidance - as long as two metres could be kept between workers .
So the government is expected to make a renewed push for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said because the risk of the virus outdoors is lower than indoors , there ’ s “ more scope ” for some jobs outside .
He added : “ There 's more scope for people returning to work on building sites for example , or more outdoor leisure activities than is likely to be the case for indoor ones.
” 'Bubbles ' of up to 10 people People could meet small `` bubbles '' of their friends and family under one idea to ease the coronavirus lockdown .
Nicola @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the proposal as one possible way to relax restrictions on people 's movement in the future .
But she warned if the idea does happen , `` it 's got to be the same people day-to-day , week-to-week '' to prevent Covid-19 being passed on more widely .
That means people would have to choose one `` bubble '' of friends or family - and stick with them , while continuing not to meet other people they love .
Reports later said the idea was one being mulled by the UK government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stone .
The government is considering raising the penalty for defying lockdown from £60 to £100 for a first offence .
The fines would then double for each offence after that , just as they do already .
And the maximum fine would rise from just under £1,000 at the moment to £3,200 .
A senior government source did not deny these figures , reported by the Sunday Telegraph , were under consideration .
The government has n't made a final decision on whether to ask people to cover their face in public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ covering advice is widely expected after Boris Johnson covering one 's face in some situations would be a `` useful '' tool .
It 's understood that if face coverings are required , they wo n't be masks .
The government does n't want to cause a shortage in personal protective equipment that should be available to the NHS .
But coverings like a scarf could be recommended .
And the government would provide guidance on what kind of material you can make such a covering from .
It 's important that people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face covering in a way that means they 're actually creating more risk , by continually touching their face .
A new contact tracing app is expected to launch in around mid-May after trials on the Isle of Wight this week .
The app , which is voluntary , will use Bluetooth to track when people have come into close contact with someone who , now or later , tests positive for coronavirus .
It will urge someone who ’ s been in contact with a virus carrier to get tested and to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of the crucial “ test , track and trace ” strategy that is needed before the UK-wide lockdown can be relaxed .
The idea is that this would allow society to partially reopen while keeping the virus at bay and sick people in isolation .
For it to work properly , at least 60 % or so of the population need to download it .
It will be paired with an army of 18,000 human contact tracers to follow up on those who need further attention , or those who don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` actively looking at '' quarantining people who arrive into the UK once lockdown begins to ease .
Nothing is confirmed , but reports have suggested people will be asked to isolate themselves for two weeks .
If so , this would be a major blow to the airline industry and render most holidays to Britain pointless .
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told the BBC : `` I think it ’ s important ... that we ensure the sacrifices in the sense of social distancing that we ’ re asking the British people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes to this country .
`` So I am actively looking at these issues right now .
`` So that when we have infection rates within the country under control , we 're not importing . ''
The government is considering new wave of `` local '' lockdown restrictions later this year to stop new spikes of coronavirus in their tracks .
At the moment , officials are focused on easing the lockdown at the same pace across the UK - to move as one nation in the Covid-19 crisis .
But it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that approach if there is a rapid new second outbreak of the virus , which needs quick action to be halted .
A government source said : `` If you were to see worrying increases of transmission happening in regions , then you would want to move quickly to try and stop those . ''
Pubs will be the last places to reopen as lockdown is eased , the Government has confirmed .
Likewise , ministers have indicated that mass gatherings will be among the last things to reopen .
But some local @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as long as spectators can stay in the open air .
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Jenny Harries said : “ Outdoor environments are safer .
But if you go with a load of friends and sit in a pub… that ’ s not a good thing to do.
” And Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick told the No10 coronavirus update : “ Transmission is significantly less outdoors than indoors.
” Meanwhile hairdressers and nail bars could remain shut for six months , sources told The Sun .
Courts might have to use two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the past , so that jurors can retire into a safe space and also be spaced out and distanced within the court .
People are also `` measuring '' courtrooms - often a cramped environment - to work out what would be safe .
And the number of people on juries could be reduced .
Scotland and Wales have repeatedly set out plans ahead of , or slightly differently to , the rest of the UK government .
And it 's true that the Scottish and Welsh governments have control over areas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ministers have also stressed they want to keep the whole of the UK moving in the same way at the same time .
And the government has distanced itself from claims that worst-hit regions , like London and the West Midlands , could have different rules to the countryside .
Some routine operations and fertility treatment have already been restored as hospital inpatients fall for several weeks in a row .
However , it 's not yet clear when other services - including ENT therapies and dentistry , where staff are particularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Over-70s are not currently banned from leaving their home for essential shopping or exercise - unless they ’ ve been individually told so by the NHS .
Currently the only difference is that over-70s are told to be `` particularly stringent '' in following the lockdown .
But campaigners fear that when lockdown is relaxed , older people might be kept under the rules for longer than younger people , for their own safety .
That proposal has been rumoured but is not in any way confirmed by government - and Matt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there 's no `` blanket ban '' .
But there are fears among doctors ' leaders and campaigners .
Former pensions minister Ros Altmann told Sky : `` I think using an age-based criteria is fundamentally wrong and would potentially cost the lives of many people , and risk social unrest . ''

Ofsted: the longer children stay out of school the harder it will be
Schools, workplaces and public transport will change when the UK coronavirus lockdown starts being relaxed as soon as Monday - while fines look set to be higher, and you may be advised to cover your face in public. As Boris Johnson announces a 'roadmap' this week, here's how it is taking shape
When will lockdown end - and how? What 'roadmap' relaxing rules will look like
The UK has been in lockdown for six weeks.
Hundreds of people are still dying each day from coronavirus. But now that we're past the peak, Boris Johnson will lay out a "roadmap" at 7pm on Sunday 10 May for how lockdown will be eased.
He will change very little immediately - and won't end lockdown in one go. But some changes will take effect from Monday 11 May "if possible".
And in the long term, his plan will give us a clearer picture of what the UK will look like over the coming months in a new, coronavirus-scarred world.
The Mirror understands a draft 50-page plan has been drawn up to get the country back to normal. The Government's blueprint aims to to relax the lockdown in staggered steps between now and October.
Schools and outdoor activities are set to resume within weeks, while pubs and restaurants look doomed to stay closed for months.
Meanwhile the furlough scheme will be "wound down" after June, fines for breaching lockdown will rise, and you could be told to cover your face in public.
So what will reopen, what will stay shut - and how will your everyday life change?

Some measures will be lifted as early as Monday 11 May "if we possibly can" - but they will only be "very limited" and lockdown will not end all in one go.
Experts say some closures or social distancing will last until 2021, when we're likely to have a vaccine.
Cabinet minister Michael Gove warned: "Ultimately, unless and until we have a vaccine, then I suspect we’re going to have to live with some degree of constraint because of the nature of the virus."

Households could also be allowed to expand their “social bubble” to one other household of family or friends.
At the end of June, secondary schools would return, some outdoor activities and cafes.
Then, pubs and restaurants could reopen at the end of August or early September.
The final stage of lifting restrictions, which could include the opening of gyms and and the return of fans to Premier League matches, is the least predictable.
Earmarked for October, it is being fiercely debated, amid fears of a second wave of Covid-19 or a flu outbreak.
The Sun reports gyms face being closed for most of 2020, while playgrounds are also poised to stay shut.
BORIS JOHNSON'S FIVE-STAGE PLAN 1. From Monday Unlimited exercise allowed. Employees to be encouraged to return to workplaces that have stayed open through- out the lockdown if safe. Garden centres could reopen while there may be more guidance on the use of outdoor spaces including open-air markets, high streets and cemeteries. 2. End of May/Start of June Phased return of primary schools in England, starting with Year 6. Households could be allowed to expand “social bubble” to meet one other household of family or friends. 3. June (End) Phased return of secondary schools in England before the summer holidays. Small team sports such as five-a-side football could be allowed, along with outdoor gatherings of fewer than 30 people. Cafes with outdoor seating could reopen while outdoor sports like golf, tennis and angling might resume. Possible return of Premier League matches, although behind closed doors. 4. End of August/Start of September Pubs, bars and restaurants could gradually reopen although customers would be expected to follow strict social distancing rules. 5. October Possible return of football fans to matches. Gyms could be allowed to re-open. But any further lifting of restrictions to get back to normal life would be in doubt amid fears of a second wave of coronavirus or an outbreak of seasonal flu.
What will the roadmap talk about?
It will spell out how the lockdown changes in phases over time. It may have a "traffic light" system spelling out what you can and can't do as restrictions lift.
The plan would also drop the government's "stay at home" branding in favour of a more subtle message.
But it will also make clear that the UK is not returning to "business as usual".
Some restrictions will be eased, but others - like fines for breaches - will be made harsher than they are now.
While people are put back on public transport and in some workplaces, there will be strict social distancing to keep people two metres apart.
People are likely to be advised to cover their faces, and will be told to use an NHS phone app that alerts you if you've come into close contact with the virus.

How does the R number, 'test, track and trace' and five tests come into all this?
The 'R' number is the average number of people infected by each Covid-19 carrier. It has to be low enough for each stage of the roadmap to begin.
Currently R is between 0.6 and 0.9 because so many people are out of contact with each other. Every time you relax a lockdown rule, R rises again. Ministers say they won't do anything that pushes the R number back above 1.
The UK must also pass five tests before easing lockdown:
The NHS is able to cope
A sustained fall in deaths
New infections dropping enough
Adequate testing and PPE
No risk of a second peak that overwhelms NHS
To help pass all these tests there is a 'test, track and trace' strategy planned for launch at the middle of May.
It will mean downloading an NHS app which tells you if you've been near a Covid-19 carrier - and ensuring you isolate quickly if you're put at risk to stop it spreading further. More on this below.
So what will the plan say?

Schools
Schools will reopen in a "phased" way - with some year groups likely to go back first while others are told to remain at home.
Boris Johnson has signalled he wants primary schools to be the first to return, and it is likely that Year 6 will be the first to return.
Years 10 and 12 would then be the first back in secondary schools, according to one plan.

Teachers need time to put social distancing in place, including reorganising classrooms to keep children 2 metres apart.
Sources suggest this will begin as early as June 1. No10 declined to say if all pupils will be back before September.
Universities
Arts students will be the last to return, with students of medicine, dentistry and veterinary science prioritised in the autumn, according to the Sunday Times.
Thirty-three universities are working on a contingency plan to fast-track students of the key sciences back to campus.

Public transport
The number of trains will slowly rise as lockdown eases, to avoid overcrowding.
Hand sanitiser and one-way systems would be placed on the network, with spacing at platforms and bus stops “clearly marked out” to keep people two metres apart.
New timetables will be introduced as planned in May, even though trains will not run to them straight away.
Firms would be urged to stagger workers' start times to spread out the rush out.
But London mayor Sadiq Khan has warned capacity could be overwhelmed. A double decker London bus would have to have just 15 passengers.
Meanwhile the government has hinted at more support for Cycle to Work, a tax break scheme where you can buy a bicycle over a year through your employer.
Workplaces and working from home
Workplaces would have floor markings to ensure people are two metres apart, according leaked draft guidance.
The guidance could also recommend staggered arrival times and breaks, fewer people in lifts and regular deep cleaning. According to BuzzFeed News, other draft measures for workplaces include:
Providing additional parking or bike racks
Having more entrances into the workplace
Alternatives to touch-based security devices such as keypads
Washing uniforms on site rather than at home
Reducing maximum occupancy for lifts, providing hand sanitiser for the operation of lifts and encouraging use of stairs
Introducing more one-way flow routes through buildings
Reviewing layouts to allow staff to work further apart from each other
But workers would in some cases be allowed to sit less than two metres apart - despite the risk being 10 to 30 times higher at one metre than two metres.
Not all workers would go back to the office if they don't need to.
Government advisors have previously said working from home could become the new normal until there's a vaccine for coronavirus.
The furlough scheme
At the moment, 6.3m workers are having their wages paid by the state - up to 80% or £2,500 a month.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has warned this is not sustainable because it costs as much as the NHS.
The furlough scheme runs in full up to the end of June and will then be "wound down".
Officials appear to be looking at cutting the amount to workers and the self-employed or limiting it only to certain sectors. This has sparked fears some will lose out.
The future of the furlough scheme won't be announced on Sunday. Sources said it would be in the week or two weeks after the PM's address on Sunday.
Picnics, golf course, tennis and going outdoors
People will be allowed to exercise more than once a day, drive to the countryside and have picnics, according to the Mail on Sunday.
And the Daily Mail claims golf courses, tennis courts and fishing lakes will reopen from June too.
You'd still have to be with members of your own household only, and keep two metres away from other groups.
No10 has not confirmed these reports.
But ministers and scientists have repeatedly said outdoor activities are less risky than those indoors - indicating they'll be the first to be allowed back.

Supermarkets
Supermarkets would doubtless keep many of the social distancing measures they've already put in place.
And opening hours could be increased on Sunday to reduce overcrowding. Boris Johnson has said he's looking at relaxing Sunday trading laws to reduce queues on the weekend.

He added: “There's more scope for people returning to work on building sites for example, or more outdoor leisure activities than is likely to be the case for indoor ones.”

'Bubbles' of up to 10 people
People could meet small "bubbles" of their friends and family under one idea to ease the coronavirus lockdown.
Nicola Sturgeon said the Scottish government was looking at the proposal as one possible way to relax restrictions on people's movement in the future.
But she warned if the idea does happen, "it's got to be the same people day-to-day, week-to-week" to prevent Covid-19 being passed on more widely.
That means people would have to choose one "bubble" of friends or family - and stick with them, while continuing not to meet other people they love.
Reports later said the idea was one being mulled by the UK government. But it's not set in stone.

Fines for breaching lockdown
The government is considering raising the penalty for defying lockdown from £60 to £100 for a first offence.
The fines would then double for each offence after that, just as they do already.
And the maximum fine would rise from just under £1,000 at the moment to £3,200.
A senior government source did not deny these figures, reported by the Sunday Telegraph, were under consideration.
Covering your face
The government hasn't made a final decision on whether to ask people to cover their face in public.
However, some kind of face covering advice is widely expected after Boris Johnson covering one's face in some situations would be a "useful" tool.
It's understood that if face coverings are required, they won't be masks.
The government doesn't want to cause a shortage in personal protective equipment that should be available to the NHS.
But coverings like a scarf could be recommended.
And the government would provide guidance on what kind of material you can make such a covering from.
It's important that people don't end up fiddling with their face covering in a way that means they're actually creating more risk, by continually touching their face.
Using a new app
A new contact tracing app is expected to launch in around mid-May after trials on the Isle of Wight this week.
The app, which is voluntary, will use Bluetooth to track when people have come into close contact with someone who, now or later, tests positive for coronavirus.
It will urge someone who’s been in contact with a virus carrier to get tested and to isolate themselves if necessary.
It is part of the crucial “test, track and trace” strategy that is needed before the UK-wide lockdown can be relaxed.
The idea is that this would allow society to partially reopen while keeping the virus at bay and sick people in isolation. For it to work properly, at least 60% or so of the population need to download it.
It will be paired with an army of 18,000 human contact tracers to follow up on those who need further attention, or those who don’t download the app.
Arriving in the UK
Ministers are "actively looking at" quarantining people who arrive into the UK once lockdown begins to ease.
Nothing is confirmed, but reports have suggested people will be asked to isolate themselves for two weeks.
If so, this would be a major blow to the airline industry and render most holidays to Britain pointless.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told the BBC: "I think it’s important... that we ensure the sacrifices in the sense of social distancing that we’re asking the British people to make are matched by anybody who comes to this country.
"So I am actively looking at these issues right now.
"So that when we have infection rates within the country under control, we're not importing."
Local lockdowns
The government is considering new wave of "local" lockdown restrictions later this year to stop new spikes of coronavirus in their tracks.
At the moment, officials are focused on easing the lockdown at the same pace across the UK - to move as one nation in the Covid-19 crisis.
But it's understood officials are looking at changing that approach if there is a rapid new second outbreak of the virus, which needs quick action to be halted.
A government source said: "If you were to see worrying increases of transmission happening in regions, then you would want to move quickly to try and stop those."
Pubs, grassroots sport, mass gatherings and other venues
Pubs will be the last places to reopen as lockdown is eased, the Government has confirmed.
Likewise, ministers have indicated that mass gatherings will be among the last things to reopen.
But some local cricket and grassroots football could return – as long as spectators can stay in the open air.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Jenny Harries said: “Outdoor environments are safer. But if you go with a load of friends and sit in a pub… that’s not a good thing to do.”
And Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick told the No10 coronavirus update: “Transmission is significantly less outdoors than indoors.”
Meanwhile hairdressers and nail bars could remain shut for six months, sources told The Sun.
Courts
Courts might have to use two courtrooms where we would have used one in the past, so that jurors can retire into a safe space and also be spaced out and distanced within the court.
People are also "measuring" courtrooms - often a cramped environment - to work out what would be safe.
And the number of people on juries could be reduced.
A 'one UK' approach
Scotland and Wales have repeatedly set out plans ahead of, or slightly differently to, the rest of the UK government.
And it's true that the Scottish and Welsh governments have control over areas like schools and care homes.
However, ministers have also stressed they want to keep the whole of the UK moving in the same way at the same time.
And the government has distanced itself from claims that worst-hit regions, like London and the West Midlands, could have different rules to the countryside.
NHS services
Some routine operations and fertility treatment have already been restored as hospital inpatients fall for several weeks in a row.
However, it's not yet clear when other services - including ENT therapies and dentistry, where staff are particularly at risk of transmission - will continue.

Older people
Over-70s are not currently banned from leaving their home for essential shopping or exercise - unless they’ve been individually told so by the NHS.
Currently the only difference is that over-70s are told to be "particularly stringent" in following the lockdown.
But campaigners fear that when lockdown is relaxed, older people might be kept under the rules for longer than younger people, for their own safety.
That proposal has been rumoured but is not in any way confirmed by government - and Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, insists there's no "blanket ban".
But there are fears among doctors' leaders and campaigners. Former pensions minister Ros Altmann told Sky: "I think using an age-based criteria is fundamentally wrong and would potentially cost the lives of many people, and risk social unrest."
