The Health Secretary has urged the public to stick to social distancing rules as the UK recorded its highest number of daily Covid-19 cases since May after 2,988 were reported in just 24 hours. When asked if another lockdown (nationwide) was still on the cards, Mr Hancock replied: 'We will take whatever action is necessary.' Yesterday saw 1,813 new coronavirus infections - 1,175 fewer cases than today - and 12 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. New lockdown rules were also enforced in Glasgow from midnight on Tuesday following a spike in coronavirus cases there. The lockdown rules were then relaxed 18 days later.
