The worst areas in Leeds for coronavirus right now as new mutant strain spreads

More than 2,000 people have tested positive for coronavirus in the last week as infection rates continue to rise across the country.

There has also been an increase in Leeds.

This comes as Prime Minsiter Boris Johnson told people in England to once again "stay home, protect the NHS and save lives" as he announced a full national lockdown.

In a television address on Monday, the Prime Minister said people should start obeying the new measures immediately after a new variant of coronavirus has prompted urgent action as case numbers and hospital admissions have surged.

Hospital admissions are currently 40 per cent higher than at the peak of the first wave.

Leeds has recorded a further 307 Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours, bringing the area's total to 42,646 cases.
