Hancock now says there are two cases of another new variant in the UK.

Both are contacts of cases who have travelled from South Africa.

"We are incredibly grateful to the South African government for their science," he says.

"This virus is yet more transmissible and appears to have mutated further than the new virus."

Hancock said “We know that the three-tiered system worked to control the old variant and is working now in large parts of the country especially in northern England.

“But we also know that Tier 3 is not enough to control the new variant. This is not our hypothesis, it is a fact and we have seen it on the ground.

“We’ve seen case rates rise in some of the places close to where the current Tier 4 restrictions are in places like East Anglia where we are seeing a significant number of the new variant and we’ve seen case rates rise sharply.

“It is therefore necessary to put more of the East and South East of England into Tier 4.

While the number of cases attributable to the old variant is holding steady or tailing off in some areas, Dr Harries says there has been a very sharp rise in cases of the new variant.

This is translating into rising pressures on hospitals, she says.

The number of hospital beds currently occupied by Covid patients across England is nearing April’s peak of about 21,000, Dr Harries says, including in London

That’s our clown show gov

Most other places want some evidence, some testing on arrival

Something Heathrow/Gatwick have been calling for since April.

Our rates have shot up in Cumbria. We have one district with their highest rate ever (although oddly, we also have another with the lowest rate in the country). So, either the tier 2 is not working against the old variant, or the new variant is here and we should be moving to 3 or 4 to nip it in the bud.

They might cancel all the football soon anyway.

I think that would be the most sensible move until March. Boxing Day is decimated by postponements already, especially in League One, where four matches (as of yesterday) are off. I expect many more will succumb and that will be that.

This can't go on. Sooner rather than later.

Lincolnshire, Staffordshire Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire & Warwickshire all higher rate and increasing faster than West Sussex yet not going into Tier 4. Absolute shitter.

WSHT only 31 Covid cases and 1 in a ventilator bed.

So people who stayed the one night allowed at another house on Christmas Day are supposed to get home how? Why not do it from the 27th?
