Test and Trace boss says system having 'material impact'

The chair of the NHS Test and Trace programme says close to 1,000 people per minute are being tested, as she defends the system to MPs.
Baroness Dido Harding tells the Commons Public Accounts Committee: "In terms of numbers, every minute yesterday 965 people were swabbed or swabbing themselves throughout the day.
"In the first two weeks of the new year, we've tested over 7.5 million people. In the last week of published data - so the first week of January - our contact tracers successfully reached a million people, both people who tested positive and their close contacts."
She says she thinks the NHS Test and Trace service is having a "material impact" on tackling coronavirus and says: "There is no doubt that as we have built and scaled the service, we have learnt more and more and we are now hitting all of the operational contact tracing targets that Sage (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies) set us."

Partygoers' lockdown breach excuse: 'We never watch the news'

People attending a party in breach of lockdown regulations told police that they "never watch the news" so they were unaware of the pandemic.
Hampshire Constabulary tweeted about the illegal gathering on Saturday evening in Basingstoke, using the hashtag #ThereAreNoWords.
The force said it was investigating "with a view to reporting the individuals involved for summons following a Covid breach".
Police can issue fines of up to £200 for a first-time breach of coronavirus regulations, with a fine of up to £10,000 for organising an unlawful gathering of more than 30 people.
