    Officials are seeking to maximise protection before restrictions are lifted on Monday with a series of pop-up clinics across the country for those who have not taken up the offer of a vaccine.

    More than 68 million vaccinations have been delivered by the NHS in England, it added.

    From 19 July, the government is relaxing some rules around mask wearing and social distancing, as part of the final steps of the coronavirus road map.

    However, Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says people will be expected to continue some practices while accessing services.

    Amanda Stanford, chief nurse and infection prevention lead at Airedale NHS foundation trust said while rules are changing, it's important to remember the pandemic "is very much here".

    She added: "We must continue to exercise caution in all settings – in particular where there are likely to be vulnerable patients.

    “By continuing to wear face coverings and following any other on-site advice, we will work together to keep our patients, their families and our colleagues safe."
