The front pages feature Health Secretary Sajid Javid’s warnings about a resurgence of Covid while there is also news on a rest order for the Queen.
The Daily Telegraph carries the message from Mr Javid shared on many front pages of “Have your booster jab to keep your freedoms”.
The Guardian and The Times lead on the Health Secretary’s warning that daily case numbers could rise to 100,000 if more precautions are not taken.
Similarly, the Financial Times and The Independent lead on Mr Javid telling to public to “act now” or face returns to Covid restrictions this winter.
The Daily Mirror says the virus fight is not over.
“Get booster jab and wear mask to save Christmas” is the i‘s take on Mr Javid’s urgings.
The Daily Express runs an upbeat headline of “New drugs to fight off Covid” but urges readers: “We can’t blow it now … get your jab!”
The Daily Mail also reports on the new “miracle pill” it says will halve the risk of death from Covid.
And Metro splashes with Mr Javid’s call for people to have a booster jab and a flu shot, under a headline of “Call two arms”, while also reporting the Queen has been told to rest.
The Sun leads on those health fears surrounding the Queen after she cancelled her duties on Wednesday.
And the Daily Star leads on Strictly Ballroom.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
