COVID news live: South West becomes England's coronavirus hotspot - as nationwide infections reach highest level since January

On a seven-day basis, infections were down 12.7% on the week before, while deaths, which typically lag cases, were up 12.6%.

Cases have risen in Wales to the highest rates since the pandemic began and Mr Drakeford said he was particularly concerned to see a rise in people over 60 years old getting coronavirus. He added that he wished the UK government"took a more precautionary approach" to international travel.Coronavirus cases are rising across the UK, with England and Wales seeing their highest rates since January and before the pandemic began respectively.Vaccines have been credited for this as they have helped weaken the link between infection, hospitalisation and death.

The commission, appointed by the government amid pressure from parliament, also noted that it had taken"far too long" to build sufficient testing capacity. Meanwhile, Scotland has managed to jab 53.1% of this age group - something that has been blamed on a slow schools vaccination programme. Visits by overseas UK residents have dropped by 97% on pre-pandemic levels, figures show.

Whatever !
