Coronavirus updates: London, Essex and Kent see 'worrying' rise in cases, says Hancock - BBC News
Health Secretary Matt Hancock says the fastest rise has been in secondary-school aged children.
ITV's Tom Clarke asks if it's inevitable we are going to see a third wave of cases, and whether ministers should be acting sooner in making a decision on restrictions.

He also asks what tests will be rolled out for secondary schools, and how effective they will be?

Matt Hancock says decisions on tiers will depend on how people behave.

He says targeted testing is being rolled out due to a particular rise in cases in a particular part of London.

"That can help us and play a part in keeping case rates down, but only as part of an overall package.

"It's individuals behaviour that can make the biggest difference," he says.

He says PCR tests will be used in the first instance in London, and then lateral flow tests will also be rolled out. "They are both effective," he says.

Prof Chris Whitty says a third wave "is not inevitable" but it can be avoided by everyone "coming together".

He says people should be "very sensible" over the Christmas period.

On testing, he says a testing programme is a "useful addition" to all the other social distancing measures. "If you add it to those things it adds an additional bit of heft," he says.
