The rise in cases has been linked to reports that Leicester could be made subject to Britain's first local lockdown.

It stopped short of saying a local lockdown was likely, but The Sunday Times reported that the health secretary had been examining legal aspects of the shutdown following a rise in cases. He argued the information was"key to determining what intervention is needed" to respond to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.

He said:"The... thing that is becoming clear now is that when outbreaks occur, they typically occur in clusters and we're seeing certain work environments, for example food-processing factories, as being fairly common places for those clusters to arise.
