UK coronavirus LIVE: Brit virus toll rises to 23 as three new cases confirmed in Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Hertfordshire

Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty ​said all three were "being investigated and contact tracing has begun" after they tested positive for the Covid-19 virus in Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire and Berkshire.
