COVID-19: Tackling the Indian variant as thousands queue for jab

Thousands of people have been queuing for Covid checks in several English towns and cities as surge testing is ramped up in the battle against the Indian variant of COVID- 19.

At one point the NHS in Bolton urged anyone with a Bolton postcode over the age of 38, to go to a vaccine bus.

The government says the plans to ease restrictions further should go ahead on Monday, but there is a warning from medical experts not to open too soon.
