Given the timing, it's obviously caused by the Olympics, not COVID. There'll be barely any national news, let alone local news, due to the sports coverage!
It is reportedly due to “unprecedented staffing shortages caused by Covid”.

Also, COVID knocking the morning bulletins off air wouldn't even affect the main Look North programme with Peter Levy, as aren't the breakfast bulletins pan-regional, from Leeds, not Hull?
