The PM said the country's "roadmap" out of restrictions had been derailed by the virulent Delta variant, which is now the dominant strain across the country. An interactive map released by the Wellcome Sanger Institute shows what proportion of an area's coronavirus cases is the Delta variant. Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, which offers long sweeping beaches and classic British seaside charm, has a 100 per cent Delta variant case rate. It now also has a Delta variant proportion of 64 per cent in the city and 84 per cent in nearby North Tyneside. However, some parts of the country appear almost untouched by the Delta variant, and have endured zero cases in the two weeks to June 5.
