The UK’s vaccination programme is “breaking the link” between coronavirus infections and hospitalisation and death, health secretary Matt Hancock has said.
But Mr Hancock warned that “this isn’t over yet”, pointing to figures which showed that the recent fall in case numbers is now slowing, and has flattened completely in some areas of the country.
One in five local authority areas in the country has seen a rise in numbers of cases over the past week, he told a 10 Downing Street press conference.
