this report from our health correspondent, lauren moss. on the final weekend before new restrictions are introduced, there's a stark warning about what could lie ahead. 3,500 more coronavirus cases have been diagnosed for the second day in a row. scientists say although the rate of infection is lower than it was at the peak of the epidemic, covid—19 is growing in the community. i think one would have to say we're on the edge of losing control. and you've only got to look across the channel to see what's happening in france and what's happening in spain. the figures in the uk, on the 5th of september, it was around 1,800 people identified with the infection. on the 11th, it was 3,500. there's been an increase in coronavirus cases across all age groups. it's most pronounced among 20 to 39—year—olds. but there's also been a steep rise recently in people over the age of 80 testing positive. those numbers declined over the summer but, as you can see, they're now going back up. to try and keep a lid on infections, the rule of six will limit

the numbers we can socialise with in england from monday — and people are getting their heads around the new rules. why is it monday? why not bring it in straight away? i do think it's a funny system. if it's saving lives, then i think it makes sense, to be honest. it's a lot clearer. the rule of six, i think people understand it. i have to say, i'm in support of it. in birmingham and nearby sandwell and solihull, where the rate of infection is among the highest in the country, 1.5 million people will be banned from mixing with other households from tuesday. everyone is warned they have a part to play. the onus is on all of us to do everything we can to make sure we are abiding by the rules. and those rules, of course, ensure that we can, with close family members and close friends, socialise in appropriate circumstances. those rules also stress the vital importance of making sure that children are at school,
10:10 pm
that students can study at university and that we can work in a covid—safe environment. restrictions on two households mixing were expanded into lanarkshire from midnight, and from monday in the rest of scotland there will be a limit of six people from two households allowed to meet. and in wales, indoor gatherings of more than six will be banned. there is positive news that the vaccine trial by oxford university is restarting after being paused when one participant became unwell this week. an independent investigation has concluded it is safe to continue. but any vaccine is likely to be several months away. for now, we'll walk a fine line between maintaining a way of life and containing the virus that's changed it for so many. lauren moss, bbc news. well, the latest government figures show there were 3,497 cases recorded in the latest 24—hour period. that means the average number of new cases reported per day in the last week is now 3,001.

10:15 pm
well, obviously, it wasn't the way i wanted to start the year with the children. i wanted to be in school, but circumstances happened. so it has been really beneficial for myself and the children to be able to have some connection each day, and just to connect with maths and english. and to see their faces, really, and for them to see me. children here are having recovery classes and lessons in mindfulness. helping them to adjust after missing months of schooling is vital. so, i liked being back at school to be with my friends and have education. like, really good education. like, face—to—face. i like being back at school, because i can see my friends and because if i am struggling, the teacher can help me, because i couldn't do that at home. the risks to children are low, but there are concerns about the virus spreading. social distancing and hygiene is now an important part of the school day, but it puts pressure on budgets and time. obviously, paying out for more cleaning materials, but also there's some staffing
