Covid-19: 'Stay local' advice over variant and tourism takes a hit

Five things you need to know about the coronavirus pandemic this Tuesday morning.

Exclusive: Vaccination won’t mean an end to self-isolating

Fully vaccinated people face still having to self-isolate for 10 days if they come into contact with someone infected with Covid after June 21, The Telegraph understands. The continued imposition of quarantine for those who have been vaccinated is likely to undermine plans for "normality" to return next month because people may be deterred from going to crowded places if they face the threat of enforced self-isolation. Workplaces may also be loath to mix vaccinated and unvaccinated staff if a case of Covid could see dozens of staff being forced into quarantine. In America, fully vaccinated people do not need to quarantine if they have come into contact with someone who has had Covid unless they are showing symptoms, according to guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Conclusions from a review into social distancing rules are due to be announced next week, with a relaxation of the need to keep one metre apart indoors and wear face masks possible from June 21 – the final stage in Boris Johnson's reopening roadmap for England.

Manhattan district attorney expands criminal probe of Trump company to Westchester County property

The Manhattan district attorney's office has expanded its criminal probe of President Donald Trump's company to include a sprawling property in Westchester County, New York. The company's valuation of Seven Springs for a number of months has been the focus of a civil fraud investigation by the New York attorney general's office. Trump bought the property for only $7.5 million in 1996. Vance's office already was known to be investigating hush money payments made to women who said they had sex with Trump, as well as possible tax, bank and insurance fraud. Trump has denied having sex with the women, porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal.
