“We are not out of this by a very long way.” - England’s deputy chief medical officer Jenny Harries, speaking of Covid.

“We are seeing some early evidence that these restrictio­ns are working. We think they are starting to reduce case numbers and while it will take a bit of time yet to feed properly into admissions to hospital and ICU, we also hope that we might be starting to see some early positive signs too.”

- Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

“It must, or should, have been obvious to all concerned that he was at high risk of suicide and should have been detained under the Mental Health Act for his own safety. Had this been done, he might still be alive today.” - Singer Will Young questions why his twin was not assessed by a consultant psychiatri­st when he was admitted to hospital

after trying to take his own life, just days before his death.

“I expect that the agreement with Boohoo may provide some job opportunit­ies but we regret that this outcome does not safeguard the jobs of Debenhams’ employees beyond the winding-down period.” - Geoff Rowley, joint administra­tor for Debenhams, after online fashion retailer Boohoo bought the brand and website in a deal that will see the stores close. “This was a very difficult decision for the club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationsh­ip with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him. He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstan­ces we believe it is best.” - Chelsea’s owner Roman Abramovich on the sacking of head coach Frank Lampard.
