Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “The rise in the number of cases that wehave seen today is concerning.
“The cases are predominantly among youngerpeople but we have seen in other countries across the world and in Europe thissort of rise in the cases among younger people lead to a rise across thepopulation as a whole, so it so important that people don’t allow this illnessto infect their grandparents and to lead to the sort of problems that we sawearlier in the year.”
