Daily cases could reach 200,000 by mid-August, a leading scientific adviser has warned, the Times reports. The paper carries comments from Prof Neil Ferguson, a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, who also warned that 500,000 more people could develop long Covid. The Times says that YouGov research has revealed that the government is out of step with the public on the decision to reopen, with just 31% in favour compared to 55% against. The main image dominating the Times’ front page, and that of several other papers, is of Sir Lewis Hamilton celebrating after winning the British Grand Prix.
