Laurence Fox and Piers Corbyn are holding demonstrations outside Wimbledon.  

Today is the final day of this year's Wimbledon championship, with Novak Djokovic and Matteo Berrettini facing off against each other at the All England Club in west London.  

The Government's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance and NHS England's national medical director Professor Stephen Powis were in attendance to watch the showdown.  

A handful of demonstrators gathered outside the venue holding placards decrying lockdowns, with a few bearing anti-vaccination messages.     

Protesters walking alongside Mr Fox wore shirts saying 'No health passports'.

Demonstrators standing near Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, held a sign saying: 'We demand scientific TV debate on Covid vax dangers especially to children'.

There have been concerns that people are deleting or disabling the app amid a huge rise in exposure alerts sent to users in England telling them to isolate.

Representative body NHS Providers said a growing number of trusts had told them of their concerns in recent days about how self-isolation of staff is now 'significantly impacting their ability to deliver care'.

Downing Street said on Friday that ahead of Step 4 of restrictions being lifted, expected on July 19, officials were examining whether NHS staff could be freed of the obligation to self-isolate if 'pinged' by the Covid app.
