Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said the numbers of people testing positive for Covid-19 were "in very low levels" as they averaged at 2,000 a day.

Professor Van-Tam also said he thought that two people who had had both vaccine doses, with the second jab at least 14 days ago, would be "incredibly safe" if they met up. Mr Hancock will be among those getting their coronavirus vaccine on Thursday, after people aged 42 and over in England were called to come forward and book their jab.
