This mornings’ Phillip Schofield asked the Health Secretary when we would be able to hug people again.

He asked the question were all wondering, saying exactly: ‘When can I hug someone again?’

But unfortunately, Matt Hancock indicated this wouldn’t happen very soon.

‘I wouldn’t recommend it,’ said the Health Secretary.

‘Really to get to the point where this is totally sorted is when we have a treatment or a vaccine.

‘Those developing a vaccine think they should have it on stream for this Autumn.

‘I’m cautious. I’m giving them all of the support that we possibly can, but the science of vaccines is very complicated.

‘The trials are going really well so far. There’s several hundred people who have got a vaccine in them already to test it and to test that it’s safe, and that it works… If it comes off by the Autumn that would be wonderful, but there’s a lot of science to do between now and then to be able to sort it.’

On the this morning show, the health secretary basically kept level headed and answered questions as honestly as possible, explaining how summer is pretty much cancelled for now, to put it simply.

Whilst Phillip was asking about hugs, Holly was concerned about when children would be going back to school, and the issue that ministers seemed to be boycotting the show. But, thankfully these issues are  seemingly cleared up now, with Hancock explaining that primary school children will be the first to go back, and that ministers certainly hold no grudge or have no dislike to the show.
