Towns and cities in England will find out later whether they will be moved to a different tier of Covid restrictions.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock is due to announce the outcome of the latest review of the three-tier system, after government officials met on Wednesday.

Leaders in several areas of northern England say they have met the criteria to move from tier three to tier two, after a drop in infection rates.

But NHS bosses have warned against easing restrictions "prematurely".

More than 34 million people - or 61% of England's population - are living under tier three rules, the highest level of restrictions, including large parts of the Midlands, Yorkshire, the North East and the North West.

On Wednesday, London and parts of Essex and Hertfordshire moved to tier three amid a rise in infection rates.
