Confirmed cases of the covid Indian variant have been reported in Dudley.
A small number of cases have been identified in Brierley Hill and Halesowen, Dudley Council has said.
Dudley Council said it would be monitoring the situation closely but that Public Health England s advice was not to set up additional testing.
Councillor Nicolas Barlow, cabinet member for health at the authority, said: I would like to reassure people that at the moment there is no evidence to say that the variant puts people at greater risk but we do know it has a higher transmission rate, which is why it’s really important people get tested so that we can identify any further cases of this strain. This will help track undetected positive cases and prevent the spread of the virus any further.
