(Picture: Jeremy Selwyn)Covid-19 cases are falling in 21 London borough areas, according to official figures today which raised hopes that the city can put the virus on the retreat.
The biggest fall is in Kingston which saw 262 confirmed cases in the week to October 31, down 29.4 per cent (or 109 fewer cases), with a rolling seven-day rate of 147.6 per 100,000 people.
It came as Downing Street admitted there was a mistake in graphs that showed deaths during the second wave of coronavirus could soon surge beyond the first peak.
Meanwhile, Denmark has been removed from the Government’s list of travel corridors due to widespread outbreaks of Covid-19 in its mink farms. Travellers arriving in the UK from the country after 4am on Friday must self-isolate for 14 days.
