Newspaper headlines: 'Pubs patrolled', and 'true scale' of Covid deaths
Details of what socialising will look like and how the hospitality sector will adapt to a"new normal" are outlined on the front page of The Times. Pubs will be patrolled in order to enforce social distancing, hotel room service will be left at guests' doors and tables at restaurants will not be set in advance, the paper reports. People visiting pubs will also be encouraged to order drinks on a phone app, rather than at the bar, the paper adds, and menus will be disposable.
Ministers have been accused of downplaying the gravity of the pandemic after it emerged that more than 1,000 people died daily for 22 consecutive days in the UK - contrary to the tolls announced by the government. The largest spike was on 8 April, when 1,445 people died in 24 hours. Also on the front page are plans for schools to reopen fully from September.
