Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the measures, which affect some two million people, came after local councils raised concerns about rates of infection - telling MPs "the data says that we must act now".

Across the UK, another 3,395 new cases have been confirmed. A further 21 deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours - taking the total to 41,705.
