Tens of thousands of COVID-19 survivors needing long-term care are heaping pressure on Britain’s community services – and The Independent says experts fear the crisis could dwarf the one seen in hospitals over the past 12 months.

The Independent leads on the same story.

More than 150 independent schools have unveiled a plan to become mass vaccination centres at which the UK’s entire teaching force will be given COVID-19 injections. The Mail on Sunday says the scheme aims to inoculate Britain’s schoolworkers, 16 hours a day, in order to get children back into classrooms.

The Independent says that Boris Johnson has “cancelled Christmas”, banning millions of people from mixing and allowing others just a day with family, instead of the previously promised five days.

Boris Johnson has said a no-deal Brexit would be “wonderful” as the UK edges closer to leaving without an agreement, according to The Independent.

A landmark agreement has been secured by The Independent with 20 leading wildlife organisations to demand G20 countries invest in nature to stop future pandemics.
