places have now been put on the public health england watchlist — south tyneside, middlesbrough, rossendalelk have all seen an increase in cases. but other places where infections are down have been removed — wakefield, newark and sherwood, and slough. in luton, extra restrictions were imposed after a rise in case numbers, but they were relaxed last month after action by the local council. this included intensive testing of people without symptoms to locate problem areas. we have seen a lot of asymptomatic spread, so a lot of people who don't have symptoms have been tested positive, and that's helped us track those outbreaks and work out how we can try and stop them before they become a wider cluster. but she told me that recent testing capacity problems had affected their efforts. we are asking, just for the next week or so, for people only with symptoms to be tested in luton to make sure we have enough capacity. it is proving to be a challenge for us, as it is for other areas. there is a sense here in luton that things are moving in the right direction with tackling the virus, but civic l

south tyneside, middlesbrough, rossendale, corby, kettering, norfolk, are also now on the list afterrticularly big challenge the country faces as winter approaches — ensuring young people stick to the rules to prevent infections rising will be critical. speaking earlier, dame anne johnson from university college london said it wasn't surprising that we were seeing an upturn in cases among young people in the uk. this is indeed a critical moment and what is happening in leeds if you look at the data across the country from phe we are seeing the highest number of infections, or at least detected infections in younger people aged 28—29 and also going up to a5. 0n the one hand the good news is we are not at the moment seeing the uptick in cases in but that reflects where the transmission is going on. it is young people who are probably all pleased to come out of lockdown and see friends and family more, probably they have availed themselves more of those things rather more than the older people it is not surprising this is where we're seeing an upturn. the government is urging civil serv

rossendale, bradford and oldham are also high up on the list. said a large portion of these increasing cases is down to young people confirming positive for having the virus, especially 17—21—year—olds. the number of hospital admissions of people who are becoming really unwell with covid and needing to go in the hospital for treatment is not increasin, but there is a big concern about who the younh people who are testing positive may pass the virus onto. their grandparents and anyone who is more vulnerable to catching coronavirus. now it was always likely that the number of cases would increase when there is an increase in testing, and of course lockdown is being eased, people are returning and going back to work and of course schools have gone back as well. but it is a fine balance to make sure they don't rise too much. everyone is advised to do their bit to try and stop the spread of the virus and to stop it going back to the levels that we saw in april and may time. that's following strict social distancing guidelines, wearing face coverings

meanwhile norfolk, rossendale and northampton are now areas in need of "enhanced support" — they wille day. we recognise the numbers have been creeping up so we fully expected to be on the leicester to become an area of concern. and we ta ke become an area of concern. and we take it very much as signal that we can go out and really reinforce all the messaging that we have been putting out over the last weeks and months to be honest. we feel there isa months to be honest. we feel there is a bit of complacency coming in, but what we are seeing is the numbers are changing. actually, more young people are testing positive and they are spread around the city so and they are spread around the city so when as we and they are spread around the city so when as we were and they are spread around the city so when as we were focusing more on specific communities, at the beginning, it is now clear that the pattern is changing and a very strong message going out from us, you know, that to avoid having further restrictions put on us, everyone has a responsibility to follow all of the guidance. you k
