Coronavirus cases fell by almost a third in England during the second national lockdown, research suggests.

The fall was driven by reductions of more than half in the North West and North East, which were subject to the toughest tier three measures before nationwide restrictions were imposed, according to the latest interim findings from Imperial College London’s React study.

Meanwhile, children will get to meet Santa this Christmas after all – as long as they do not sit on his knee.

No 10 has given the green light for Santa’s Grottos, nativity plays and carol singing to go ahead this year but with Covid-19 restrictions in place.
