It comes as Boris Johnson has warned there are signs of a "second wave" of coronavirus in Europe.
Speaking during a visit to Nottingham on July 28, the PM said: "What we have to do is take swift and decisive action where we think that the risks are starting to bubble up again.
"Let's be absolutely clear about what's happening in Europe, amongst some of our European friends, I'm afraid you are starting to see in some places the signs of a second wave of the pandemic."

However , on one such fateful occasion there was a mortifying incident that Ben kept secret @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thinking about what happened during that eventful lunchtime gives Ben the `` shivers '' to this very day .
Ben was an avid cycler at the time , so rocked up at Kate 's town house and started to chain his bike up t to the railings .
Kate 's kitchen was down in her basement , which meant he could see inside from above while locking up his bike .
Suddenly , a naked person walked into the kitchen - and horrified Ben quickly realised it was his pal Kate .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a sleep .
Suddenly someone nude walked into the kitchen and I looked up and it was Kate .
And she was topless , '' explained the red-faced presenter .
While Ben ’ s eyes nearly popped out he was almost paralysed to the spot and did not want to move in case she saw him .
Thinking it would be too embarrassing to explain what happened , Ben lowly undid his bike chain then cycled off in a `` hot sweat '' .
“ I sort of froze , panicked ... walked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Sunday Mirror last year .
“ It became a thing in my head ...
I couldn ’ t tell her.
” When confused Kate asked when he was coming over , nervous Ben claimed he had `` just got a bit tied up '' .

Ben confessed all to Chris Moyles on a podcast after having a few drinks , which he admitted he regretted .
This meant he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after nearly two decades in case she discovered it from somebody else .
Red-faced Kate admitted she was `` flabbergasted '' when Ben sat her down to finally reveal what he had seen .
`` He was sweating buckets , '' revealed Kate .

The presenters , who have been happily married to their partners for years , definitely saw the funny side .
The embarrassing incident is not the only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have shared .
They started working together on GMTV when Ben hosted the Entertainment Today segment , while Kate was a main presenter on the breakfast TV show .

You got a book deal off the back of that – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cut yet !

I was getting tweets about it .
My mum was furious .
She said , ‘ Why were you wearing nude pants ?
You could have at least worn something nice and silky.

Kate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Annie since 2004 and also has two children : “ It ’ s a weird one .

Kate 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also close friends with , was hospitalised in March after contracting coronavirus and put in an induced coma .
After 13 weeks Derek woke up , but Kate warned celebrations may be premature as he still has a long road to recovery .

Discussing Kate 's first TV interview about her husband 's ordeal , Ben said : `` It was really great to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - smiling , talking very honestly about the situation Derek is in .
He then explained her return to the studio , saying : `` It 's a big step , a really important step as she was talking about yesterday , openly , particularly for her and for Darcey and Billy and Derek 's ongoing condition .

Obviously Ben was in the studio when Kate made her much-anticipated return to work on Good Morning Britain .
Addressing her return , Kate wanted to `` have fun '' as they replaced Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid .

Sea of tributes left for Keeley Bunker at Tamworth scene where woman's body was discovered
Sea of tributes left for Keeley Bunker at Tamworth scene where woman's body was discovered
Keeley Bunker assured her best friend she was 'safe' because she was walking home through Tamworth, Staffordshire, with childhood pal Wesley Streete - but he raped and murdered her
Keeley Bunker's tragic last words before she was murdered by 'trusted' childhood pal
Tragic Keeley Bunker assured her best friend she would be "safe" walking home because she was with her trusted childhood pal - only for him to rape and murder her.
Miss Bunker, 20, told friend Monique Riggon she didn’t need a place to stay and not to worry, adding: “I’ve got Wes, I’ll be fine, I’ll walk back with him, I’ll be safe’.”
But Wesley Streete took advantage of the barmaid’s trust during what should have been a 20-minute walk through Tamworth, Staffordshire, in the early hours of September 19 last year.
Streete, 20, “forced himself on her sexually” and strangled her to death with his arm in Wigginton Park, and then dumped her body face-down in a brook, where it was discovered hours later by her devastated uncle during a search by worried family, friends and police.

Miss Bunker had been celebrating her 20th birthday with Miss Riggon in Birmingham city centre, where they attended an Aitch concert at the O2 Institute and then met up with Streete to go clubbing before taking a taxi back to Tamworth.
Giving evidence, Miss Riggon tearfully recounted how she had offered Miss Bunker a place to sleep for the night, but Keeley declined.
Miss Riggon told jurors at Stafford Crown Court: “She said she was tired and wanted to go home. She would walk home with Wes. She said ‘I’ve got Wes, I’ll be fine, I’ll walk back with him, I’ll be safe’’.”

The prosecution told the jury that Miss Bunker “trusted” Streete to get her home safe during the 20-minute walk from Miss Riggon’s home, but he attacked and killed her.
Miss Bunker’s family became worried when she didn’t make it home and she failed to answer her mobile phone. She didn’t show up for a job interview at a school that she was excited about.
Her dad Christopher reported her missing to Staffordshire Police, and family and friends posted appeals on Facebook and began a search.

They also quizzed Streete, who insisted he and Miss Bunker had parted ways at a telephone box. However, he was soon arrested by police.
After Miss Bunker’s bag was found in the park, her uncle Jason Brown focused his search there and tragically discovered her body in the brook.
He had spotted a “red object” and then hair as he moved closer to investigate.
Mr Brown told the jury: "Then I saw an arm with a bracelet. I knew what it was in front of me. I just started shouting ‘no’.”
Dean Reynolds, an off-duty police officer who was nearby during the search, said in a statement that Mr Brown's agonising shouts were "the most horrendous screaming I have heard in my life."

Streete changed his story at least four times after he was arrested, initially telling police he and Miss Bunker had parted ways.
At one point he claimed Miss Bunker fell and hit her head on a gatepost, and he tried to massage her head and chest to save her.
He told the jury he accidentally killed her as they had sex in a park, and admitted dumping her body in the brook and covering her with branches. However, he insisted that he hid her in a “panic”.
The prosecution said CCTV, mobile phone data and DNA all proved he was lying, with Miss Bunker’s blood, saliva and make-up found on his top.
Forensic pathologist Dr Brett Lockyer told the court a postmortem revealed Miss Bunker had injuries to her face and neck that were consistent with strangulation.
He said 100 marks were discovered on Miss Bunker’s body, although not all were injuries and things such as acne could be classed as a mark.
Streete, of no fixed address, was found guilty of raping and murdering Miss Bunker.
He was also convicted of two further counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and a charge of sexual activity with a child, involving three other victims.
The court heard he left secondary school without qualifications and later got a football scholarship "for Lichfield and Tamworth”, which ended because he "stopped playing football".
