I just had another look on the wider ranged gov site, and it's putting Leeds at 137, whereas we're at 197.5. If they're possibly going into it, it's unlikely we'll be shedding a tier. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map
Haven't noticed any reports of it being rampant there. A lot of the students won't be living in that area either.
I haven't either, it was just a suggested reason for the higher rate, there's a lot of student accommodation at Leeds Beckett.
It's only the BBC, but it does say 'official briefing'. No tiers shed, London moved up. please log in to view this image
Yeah they have brought this in today due to the rate of London , our review will be Wednesday as planned and they will be doing reviews weekly after that
I wonder if this new strain of Covid is the apparent ‘ Mink mutation’ originally found in Denmark? Either way using a new variant to justify London’s T3 entrance is genius.
