Free school meals should be made available to another 1.5 million pupils in England to try to break the link between child poverty and a lifetime of unhealthy eating. That's the recommendation of the National Food Strategy, which claims to be the first independent review of the UK's food policy in 75 years. It says one in seven deaths are attributable to a poor diet - a "slow motion disaster", in the words of author Henry Dimbleby, founder of the Leon Restaurant chain. 

Making free school meals much more widely available - in reach of almost a third of children, at an extra cost of £670m a year - is one immediate intervention that should be made, he said, as "only 1% of packed lunches meet the nutritional standards of a school meal". Here's who gets free meals now. 

The review also criticises the use of "misleading packaging" - for example, on certain fruit snacks which present themselves as healthy - and the "false virtue" of the food industry that still promotes "unhealthy multi-buy offers".

Environment Secretary George Eustice accepted there was more to do to improve the nation's diet and promised to consider the report carefully.

Care homes in England were "thrown to the wolves" at the height of the coronavirus outbreak, a cross-party committee of MPs has concluded. Their damning report calls the government's approach "slow, inconsistent and at times negligent". In particular, it says it was an "appalling" and "reckless" error to allow thousands of patients to be discharged from hospitals into homes without being tested in order to free up beds on wards.

About 25,000 patients were discharged between mid-March and mid-April before the government updated its policy to require testing. That update came, the report says, more than two weeks after the medical community was aware of asymptomatic transmission of the virus. 

At least 20,000 care home residents in England and Wales have died from Covid-19 since the start of the outbreak. BBC Reality Check has looked closely at what advice homes were given, and when.

The Department of Health said it had been "working closely" with homes and a long-term plan for the care sector was being developed.

UK scientists are to receive millions of pounds of government funding to study why people from an ethnic minority background are significantly more likely to die from Covid-19 than the white population. Six projects will look at social circumstances, day-to-day activities, genetic risk factors and the impact of higher rates of underlying health conditions such as diabetes. One study will examine 40 million patient records held by GPs. Another will closely monitor 30,000 healthcare workers over the next year.

Prof Kamlesh Khunti, director of the Centre for BME Health at Leicester University, who is involved in three of the studies, told the BBC he expected results to be translated into guidance that would help save black, Asian and minority ethnic lives within months. Reality Check has looked at some of the potential reasons behind their elevated risk.

The prime minister's fears of a second wave of coronavirus feature on many front pages. The Daily Mail quotes a senior government source as saying he is "extremely concerned" by outbreaks "bubbling up" at home and abroad. The same story leads the Financial Times, which cites worries from the head of the public health institute in Germany. Belgium, Luxembourg and Croatia could be the next countries to have quarantine measures reintroduced by the UK, the Times reports. It commends ministers for implementing the new rules on Spain swiftly, "a stark contrast" to the time taken to put the country into lockdown. The Daily Telegraph quotes the boss of Heathrow urging the government to allow airports to carry out virus tests to help save the travel industry, while the Guardian suggests more testing could allow the quarantine requirement to be halved. Elsewhere, most of the tabloids feature pictures of German police digging up an allotment near to where a man suspected of abducting Madeleine McCann lived.
