The UK's COVID-19 infection rate has surpassed one — a critical level meaning, on average, one infected person is likely to pass the disease on to at least one other person.
Government scientists believe the rate is between 1 and 1.2, but it varies between regions.
The stats come as Britain's second largest city - Birmingham - heads into lockdown with the second highest rate of infection in England.
Stuart Smith reports from London.
