Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus pandemic this Friday evening. We'll have another update for you on Saturday morning.

Official figures suggest the increase in new coronavirus infections appears to be slowing around the UK. Data from the Office for National Statistics shows that although new cases continue to rise, in England daily infections have stabilised at around 50,000 a day. That means around one person in every 90 has the virus in England, while it is one in 110 in Scotland and Wales. In Northern Ireland it is one in 75 - but experts warn it is too soon to say if rates are levelling off there. How many cases are in your area?

People have been queuing for Covid tests in Liverpool on the opening day of the UK's first city-wide testing programme. Everyone living or working in the city are being offered regular tests, whether or not they have symptoms. New test sites have been set up across the city, with about 2,000 military personnel helping to deliver them. What can mass testing realistically achieve? We have been taking a look.

A graph used during Saturday's Downing Street briefing to justify the current lockdown in England has had to be revised, but the government - which has accepted a mistake was made - has defended its use. It says the "underlying analysis" of the threat to the NHS was correct. The chart in question suggested a worse-case figure of up to 1,500 deaths a day by 8 December. This has now been adjusted down to 1,010 a day, after an error was found.

Wales' health minister has said it would be a "massive breach of trust" if the 17-day national lockdown in Wales was not lifted as promised on Monday. Vaughan Gething said departing from the plan to end it on 9 November would have consequences in terms of people's trust in the Welsh government. However, there have been calls for restrictions to remain in place in areas such as Merthyr Tydfil, which has one of the worst case rates in the UK.
