If you're just catching up, here's what happened at the Downing Street press conference today. Health Secretary Matt Hancock warns that everyone must "stay on our guard now and through Christmas" as the fight against the virus is not over He urges: "Help is on the horizon, so don't blow it now" - and tells people to respect social distancing rules The fall in the number of cases has flattened off and is rising in some places like Essex, Kent and parts of London The fastest rise in those areas is among secondary school children - those aged 11-18 - with the rate currently "broadly flat" among adults But a sharp rise in cases among younger people can lead to a rise in more vulnerable age groups later, Hancock pointed out As a result, mass testing is to be rolled out for children and their families in the worst-affected areas of Essex, Kent and London Hancock says those case numbers are "worrying" and comes ahead of a review of tiers in England on 16 December A third wave of Covid cases is "not inevitable", said Prof Chris Whitty, but people need to be "very sensible" over Christmas The vaccination rollout is to be expanded, with 10 new locations in England offering the Pfizer/BioNTech jab soon, said Hancock Next year, vaccination centres will open in sports centres and conference halls Follow the story 👉 https://bbc.in/37PKAat BBC News Live | Coronavirus Press Conference | UK Government Press Briefing | BBC #BBC #BBCiPlayer #BBCNews #BBCCoronavirus #Coronavirus #Covid-19 #CoronavirusOutbreak #Corona #CoronavirusUK #borisjohnsonspeechonuklockdowntoday All our TV channels and S4C are available to watch live through BBC iPlayer, although some programmes may not be available to stream online due to rights.
