PM says there are 10 to 30 UK coronavirus hotspots 'bubbling up' where we need tough local lockdowns

Boris Johnson says the UK is not 'out of the woods yet' with coronavirus and it's 'absolutely vital' that we continue to 'keep our focus and discipline'

He said: "There are between 10 and 30 places where you are seeing [coronavirus] bubbling up a little bit.

I say to them, 'I know it's tough, I know it's requiring a lot of patience to get through this'.

I think the county as a whole understands that the best way to deal with this is if we have tough, swift and decisive local lockdowns to get it under control in those towns.

I pay tribute to the efforts of local people in many, many places from Kirklees to Ashford across the country. It's going down now in Leicester, they're making a huge effort and I thank them for what they're doing."
