All UK adults are reportedly being offered a Covid-19 vaccine as restrictions are due to end in England on Monday.
Around 88 per cent of adults have had a first dose and around 68 per cent have had both, according to latest figures reported by the BBC.
It comes as more than 50,000 daily cases were recorded on both Friday and Saturday, infection levels not seen since January.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced on Saturday he had tested positive, despite having two doses of a vaccine, raising questions about whether other Cabinet members, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson, will have to isolate.
Almost all restrictions on social contact are being removed in England on Monday, the so-called 'freedom day'. Mr Johnson urged anyone who had not booked their vaccine to do so. He was reported as saying: "Now lets finish the job."
