Boris Johnson has been forced into self-isolation after meeting an MP who later tested positive for coronavirus. After a tumultuous few days at Number 10 - in which two of his closest advisers left under a cloud - the prime minister had been hoping to hit the reset button. Downing Street says he'll still make a series of "critical announcements" as planned this week and go ahead with important meetings, albeit remotely. Those include discussions on future spending plans and lifting the lockdown in England. He's also expected to speak to Conservative backbenchers representing the north of England who want reassurances his "levelling-up" mission won't be derailed by the pandemic.
As our political correspondent Nick Eardley puts it, the timing is far from ideal for a prime minister seeking to get back on the front foot. The PM also has big decisions to make on Brexit, with time running out to secure a trade deal. Mr Johnson, of course, was admitted to intensive care with Covid-19 earlier this year. In a WhatsApp message to Tory MPs, he said he was feeling "fine", but "the rules are the rules".

Two new "mega labs" are being promised to try to double the UK's daily coronavirus testing capacity. The government says they'll open in early 2021 in Leamington Spa and at another unconfirmed site in Scotland, and will increase testing capacity by 600,000 a day. The sites will also be used to process tests for other illnesses including cancer and cardiovascular disease. BBC health editor Hugh Pym says the time frame for opening is vague though, and previous pledges on testing capacity have not always been met.
Meanwhile, Labour is calling for a national plan to roll out a vaccine as soon as one is ready. Sir Keir Starmer wants details on who will be eligible for a jab and when, and on a nationwide public health campaign to crack down on vaccine fake news. It comes as the third major trial of a vaccine to protect against Covid-19 is launched in the UK.
In other news, figures seen by BBC News suggest 19 million NHS dental treatments have been missed since the start of lockdown in March. The British Dental Association has warned the drop in patient numbers could see hundreds of practices across the UK going bust. And finally, a hotly-contested case about insurance payouts for small businesses who were unable to trade due to the pandemic heads to the Supreme Court later.

Barack Obama has said it will "take more than one election" to reverse a culture of "crazy conspiracy theories" that have exacerbated divides in the US. Speaking to the BBC, the former president said Donald Trump had "fanned division" for political gain, but Joe Biden's victory was the first step towards healing. Mr Obama said he put "great hope" in the "sophisticated" attitudes of the next generation to change the world.
Mr Trump is yet to accept the result of the election, but nevertheless he'll soon become a private citizen again. That puts him in the crosshairs of litigators and prosecutors, and we'll see how six cases against him play out.

Boris Johnson's self-isolation features widely on Monday, with the Daily Telegraph suggesting it will raise "fresh questions" about the mandatory policy given he has already recovered from the virus and there are very few cases of people getting it twice. The Guardian says he'll press ahead with plans to "restore calm to his rattled government... and project an air of competence" following the "vicious turf war" in Number 10. The i describes his mission as a "charm offensive" to rebuild relations with MPs. The Financial Times reveals Mr Johnson has told Conservative donors the government is entering a "new phase" that will be "less combative". Elsewhere, the subject of Brexit is discussed as the end of the transition period draws closer. The Daily Mail says Boris Johnson remains "firm in refusing to budge" in talks with the EU, but senior colleagues Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove are said to back a deal. The Daily Express urges the PM not to "blink first", while the Sun calls the EU's demands "patently absurd" to anyone but "Tory-hating, Remainer diehards on Twitter". Finally, the Times reports that Mr Sunak is considering charging motorists for using Britain's roads to plug a tax shortfall.
