Matt Hancock described how officials had been working to ‘hunt down the virus’ by targeting areas of concern
, Hancock said: ‘Each week there are more than 100 local actions taken across the country – some of these will make the news, but many more are swiftly and silently dealt with.
Hancock went on to add that increased testing capacity means the government has been able to take ‘more targeted local action and less national lockdown’ to allow the easing of restrictions to continue for the majority of the UK. On Sunday a further 21 deaths with coronavirus were recorded by the government, the lowest figure since lockdown began in March. However figures released on the weekeend are usually smaller than reality due to a delay in processing.
