But is the government making up its Covid-19 counter-strategy "on the hoof" and possibly in danger of losing the public's trust? Travel journalist Simon Calder tells us about the chaos that flip-flopping over quarantine rules is causing for holiday makers and airlines.
Also, comment editor Susannah Butter joins us to explain why she thinks the Instagram #ChallengeAccepted trend is just "selfish narcissism". Women are being encouraged to post black and white photos of themselves in the name of female empowerment. But is it a powerful statement, or just an excuse to show off a nice picture?
