coronavirus infections in england since january, say scientists tracking the epidemic. a study by imperial college london found infections have fallen by two—thirds across england since the current lockdown began, with an 80% fall in the capital — but it warns that levels are still high, particularly among primary school age children and young adults — with 1 in 200 testing positive between 4th and 13th february, which is similar to levels seen in september. katharine da costa has the details. friends and family kept apart. many businesses kept on hold. lockdown has taken its toll on all of us, but researchers say it has helped to take levels in england down to those last seen in september. imperial college's react survey looked at 85,000 random swab samples taken between the 4—13 february. researchers suggest one in 200 had the virus, and while infections are still high, they are halving every 15 days. but it is a mixed picture. they suggest infections are falling more slowly in northern regions, while in london, levels have fallen significantly. in while in london, levels have fallen significantly-— significantly. in some ages, one in 25 were testing _ significantly. in

early stages of the second wave, that rates were higher in the north, and that's what we're again today. the survey suggest infections are falling in all ages, but are highest in primary age children and young adults. so what might that mean for plans to reopen schools from march the 8th? we plans to reopen schools from march the 8th? ~ ., , a, , plans to reopen schools from march the 8th? ~ ., y

couple of weeks before we see the full impact of the vaccine roll—out on cases and hospital admissions. while the data seem to be heading in the right direction, ministers say they don't want to jeopardise the hard work it has taken to get us here. robert cuffe is our head of statistics. due today's figures suggest that lockdown is working? filth. due today's figures suggest that lockdown is

0h, absolutely, and it is probably the lockdown that i and it is probably the lockdown that is doing the bulk of the work here, rather than vaccinations, but hopefully we will start to see the vaccination effect start to come through soon. the data are plenty clear across all different forms, cases, hospitalisations, deaths, and studies like this reactor study. the epidemic is shrinking every two or two and a half weeks. it is really clear across those areas, but it will may be taken of the month and a half or two months at that rate of decline before we saw cases coming down to the levels they were last summer. so we are certainly not out of the woods yet, as we heard earlier. you would hope vaccinations would pull some of this weight. these researchers weren't able to look at that because the group that are expecting protection at the moment at the over 80s, and they did not look at those. we can look at other data sources, like the deaths, and show what has happened to death numbers recently. you can see over the last fortnight, the red line showing deaths in people over 80 has fallen faster than it has for people aged under 80, and that is the over 80s who have seen most of the vaccinations so far, or certainly by the middle ofjanuary, and will expect to get more. so it is really good news, it is hopeful, but not conclusive. this is a rough and ready analysis, as you can see, but it gives us hope that in addition to the big effects of lockdown, we will see vaccinations start to take some of the strain too.— of the strain too. interesting. thank

daily briefing, the first minister nicola sturgeon said just under 1t% of all tests were positive, the lowest level for some time, with the number of people in hospital with the virus now below the peak of the first wave in spring. abouti in 10 people who contract covid—i9 still experience symptoms three months after their diagnosis, according to a study by the office for national statistics. now, a group of mps says key workers and frontline staff who are suffering long—term effects which means they're unable to return to work should receive compensation. andy moore reports. oh, no. 38.9. i don't know what to do. sophie is a 27—year—old nurse, but the only temperature she's taking these days is her own. ten months after first contracting the disease, she is still off work and feels ill every day. imagine running a marathon with no finish line at all, so ijust feel that i'm running every single day, entirely exhausted, and i have no idea when this will end. iona is a secondary school teacher who is convinced she caught covid in the classroom last march. it's believed around one in ten people who get the disease are still suffering months later. that's tens of thousands of people. iona used to go running on a regular basis. now, just walking is difficult. it's sort of felt like being slowly erased, because all your plans and all the things you normally do in your life are just being taken away one by one. all my muscles hurt and ache all the time. an all—party group of mps says all front—line workers should be able to access a compensation scheme that would guarantee their livelihoods if they can't go back to work. my sincere hope is thatjust like with the original compensation scheme that was announced for front line workers who pass away, the government will now put this into place, ensure that our front line workers, the nhs workers we went out and clapped for every thursday, are able to get that peace of mind that comes with knowing that their livelihoods aren't going to be lost because they did the right thing and saved lives. that proposal is backed by the doctors' union, who say some of their members have already been forced to quit theirjobs. we would be looking at something similar to the old armed forces compensation payment, which can be a one—off payment or can be a minimum income guarantee. what we don't know, of course, about covid — we are only a year into our first cases — is whether long covid and the symptoms that are lasting in one in ten people beyond 12 weeks, will carry on. the government says employers can make full use of the existing sick pay provisions to support staff. it says research is continuing into the understanding of long covid and how affected individuals can best be supported. but for those suffering with the condition, it's a nightmare with currently no prospect of an end. recovery bonds have been proposed by the labour leader to support communities, jobs and businesses in the wake of the pandemic.

people haven't worked for at least six months, because they are either unemployed or fully furloughed — according to research from the think tank the resolution foundation. it's calling for the government's furlough scheme to remain in place for several months after lockdown is eased. our economics correspondent andy verity has more. this couldn't happen right now, but before the pandemic this video promoted a viable profitable one stop shop wedding business in worcestershire, supplying everything from flower arrangements, to disco floors, to chair covers. the only thing that's made it unviable are government restrictions imposed to fight covid, and eight staff have been on furlough for much of the past year. as a business we've lost over £300,000. we've postponed over 200 weddings. yeah, it's mounting up day by day. the government support for us has been really, really good so far. we've managed to almost freeze at the point we were 12 months ago. under current government plans, the furlough scheme ends at the end of april, but weddings and other events, from rock concerts to conferences, are still likely to be subject to some restrictions that will mean they can't make the same money they used to. but if the furlough does end in april and weddings aren't back on the road map and aren't able to resume as normal, we will have to look at restructuring, maybe possibly redundancies. with the pandemic nearly a year old, long—term worklessness has got worse. as of last month, there were 700,000 people who had been unemployed for more than six months, 500,000 who'd been furloughed full—time, and 700,000 who'd moved between furlough and unemployment for at least six months. that's a total of 1.9 million who have been workless for at least half a year. lt.5 million people were on furlough injanuary. the resolution foundation's report warns that withdrawing support from the hardest—hit sectors at the end april is too soon. there are still sectors that are very badly hit by the covid epidemic. they will probably still be barred from carrying out their business normally, and we think people who are furloughed in those sectors should be getting continuing protection, because down the line those jobs are viable jobs. it's just that they're not available to be done at the moment. more than a fifth of those now on furlough either expect to lose theirjobs in the next three months, or have been told they'll be made redundant. throughout this pandemic the government has been quite adaptable when it comes to theirjobs protection package and protected millions ofjobs, and we'll continue to look at that throughout this pandemic. the government says it spent £280 billion fighting the pandemic and protecting jobs, and plans to spend billions more on schemes like kickstart and restart to help the unemployed find work. whether the furlough scheme comes to a stop in two months will be a big decision for the chancellor in next month's budget. nearly 16 million people across the uk have had their first covid vaccination — but there's still concern about the uptake in certain communities, including among members of some minority ethnic groups. now actors, comedians and politicians — including meera syal, romesh ranganathan and beverley knight — have taken part in a video which aims to dispel false stories about the jab, and urge people to get innoculated. lizo mzimba reports. namaste. sat sri akaal. assalaamu alaikum. the're some of the country's best known faces, leading figures across a range of areas. they all have the same message — to urge people from ethnic minorities to take the covid—i9 vaccine when it's offered. just a bit sharp. more than 15 million vaccinations have been given so far, but it's believed that a significant proportion of individuals who are from ethnic minorities are currently unlikely to take it. all done. one cause is people hearing things about the vaccine that actually aren't true. itjust feels so heartbreaking to me that people from ethnic minorities are sort of inflicting a degree of separation upon themselves from not trusting in this. i understand all the reasons why, i've heard all the arguments, but i just feel so strongly that we need to make sure that we dispel some of these myths. recent research has shown that many ethnic minority groups were at greater risk of dying from covid compared to people from white british backgrounds, during the second wave of the pandemic. there's increasing concern about the reluctance of people from groups who are more at risk to take the vaccine. it's very, very rare for vaccines to have a long term side effect. that's what led to this campaign, which is aimed at individuals who are worried about vaccination. the covid—19 vaccines have gone through the same strict processes and regulations. the new video, which has been produced independently of the government, combines celebrity star power with expert medical knowledge. i've got an 18—year—old son and he would never take i a message from me or a doctor but when i told him that - i was going to be on tv with romesh, he was so excited about it, _ and i think that's the thing. i think we obviously- have a place as doctors, but i think everybody has a place. it's a message seen as so important at such a crucial time during the pandemic that the three and a half minute video will be broadcast simultaneously just before 10pm this evening on the commercial broadcasters itv, stv, channel 4, channel five and a number of sky channels. the bbc has also pledged to cover the video on key tv and radio programmes throughout the day. lizo mzimba, bbc news. the duke of edinburgh has spent a second night in hospital in london, where he was admitted after feeling unwell.

measure. it is after he was feeling unwell for a few days, so he's been admitted for observation and rest, they say stop now, we understand it's not covid related. he had his first vaccination alongside the queen last month in winter and it wasn't an emergency admission either. he came by car on tuesday evening and walked from the car to the hospital unaided and was in good spirits, we are told, but of course the medics are likely to be very cautious. he is 99. he is 100 on the 10th ofjune, so a lot of caution and certainly from the medics. we understand generally he is in good health.
