Coronavirus: London has been added to the national COVID19 watchlist, a group representing the capital's councils has said

at the start of the week - including working from home where possible and keeping to the rule of six.

Speaking on Friday, the mayor pointed to a lack of testing capacity in the capital as the reason why it had become an area of concern. "The lack of testing capacity is totally unacceptable and it is why London has been added to the government's coronavirus watchlist as an area of concern."In Leeds, city council leader Judith Blake has said she expected the city will soon be made an"area of intervention", meaning"more household restrictions along the lines of those already in force across three of the West Yorkshire districts in Bradford, Kirkless and Calderdale".

People must work from home when possible, health minister Vaughan Gething told a press conference in Cardiff.
