international travel, so for some of the hotspot areas in the north of england, northeast, northwest, west midlandss for them to return to the uk. so we are having to consider how we use our power to protect lower prevalent areas of wales, but at the same time, we do not want to take a whole nation approach, because a low prevalence area like the south—west of england, there is no good reason to prevent someone from devon at this point in time coming to visit a pre—booked holiday or trip to pembrokeshire. so we are thinking about how we use something that is proportionate and deals with the reality of the threat that we face. the scottish government is considering if more restrictions need to be put in place to control rising cases of coronavirus. at her daily briefing, nicola sturgeon said a decision would be made in the next few days. 697 new cases have been reported in scotland since yesterday, which represents 12.8 % of new tests. one of the cruellest effects of coronavirus has been its impact on the residents of care homes. an estimated 18,000 of them died, according to amnesty international,

like them of the northwest, northeast, large earth of yorkshire and the midlands, and the prime ministero extend this. it feels like an divide between what's economically good and what is good for health factors. yes and there's also a divide between what there's also a divide between what the national government wishes to do and particularly what regional mayors, local council leaders feel about what is the best use of their local areas. a lot of haggling so going on, it may come down to the amount of financial support that's given to those areas before they would agree to a stepping up, and movement of their regions into the next tear up movement of their regions into the next tearup in movement of their regions into the next tear up in the case of, as you say come and greater manchester going into the highest tier, into tier three. but clearly the government would like to do it in cooperation with those council leaders, but it has the power to impose a change on them if it feels necessary to do so. there's a bit of politics behind this as well, because i think the government would bec

think the right thing to do is to work with local leadership in yorkshire, the northeast, northwest, the west midlandsto control the virus. it is worrying, the trend across the country, if i tell you that seven days ago the virus infections were just shy of 7000 la st infections were just shy of 7000 last thursday, they are at 17,000, that puts into perspective for your viewers the agency of the interventions we had to make. chris whitty, the chief medical officer, shared some slides with colleagues from the north yesterday which demonstrate that clearly social interactions in restaurants and cafes is about 30% of the infections, which is why we had to act on table service, the curfew at ten o'clock, things that i deeply disliked having to do as the business and industry minister. nadhim zahawi. pubs, cafes, restaurants and hotels in scotland will face tougher new regulations from this evening to curb the spread of coronavirus. the tightest restrictions will be across central scotland where many venues will be forced to close — although cafes will be allowed to stay open as long as they don't serve al

the northwest, northeast and yorkshire, and the midlands have and yorkshire, and the midlands have afareater number of patients in hospital. in the north—west, 1000 patients being treated compared to around 300 in london and fewer than 100 in the south—west. around 300 in london and fewer than 100 in the south-west. we had new figures for test and trace, still not performing as it should. test and trace in england is under a lot of is key is the turnaround time for test results. in july, of is key is the turnaround time for test results. injuly, nearly eve ryo ne test results. injuly, nearly everyone tested in person, so that's people going into a test centre. they were getting their results within 24 hours. but over the last six weeks you can see the numbers are slowly declining, dropping down. more tests are of course being done but they are taking longer to come back. the figure for the data last week showed more than one third were coming back within 24 hours. this week it is one quarter. it could suggest the programme is not keeping up suggest the programme is not keeping up with t

important to note and bear in mind this is not widespread around the country, so northwest, the northeast, yorkshire in the midlands hospital, around about a thousand patients being treated with coronavirus in the northwest, london, there's around 300 figure or fewer than a hundred in the southwest. this is a very different picture across the country, but we know that cases are rising nationwide. and in the meantime, will these cases are rising, a track entry will these cases are rising, a track e ntry syste m will these cases are rising, a track entry system is not working as it should be. yes, and it's under a lot of pressure and focus right now in england. if we look at the week up to the 30th of september, chose the number of people testing positive is up number of people testing positive is up by number of people testing positive is up by about half, but what is key is the turnaround time for test results, and as we can see in this graph year, from july, those test results are people in those in person test results, when they have gone to a test centre, and had the test, they are getting the results within 2a

where it mirrors what you have seen in terms of the case numbers, northwest, northeast and yorkshire, highest number is increasing midlands it was back in march or april but are still growing and growing more slowly because of the measures we are taking and if we take more measures to get it below one of the things we need to do as individuals, we can get this back under control but at the moment you can see the numbers are increasing leading to hospitalisations and intensive care unit admissions and that is the current state of affairs of the epidemic. thank you very much. questions from the public and first christopher from margate. what is the government's guidance to single parents who have regular contact with their children who live in a different county? i live in kent and my son lives in essex so what should ido my son lives in essex so what should i do regarding contact if essex or kent were to be a higher covid alert level and the other remained at medium? christopher, ithink the guidance alas is that you should go on the website obviously and check but when places go into a higher tierfrom the basic medium, the
