The boss of Notting Hill Carnival has urged revellers to stay off the streets this Bank Holiday weekend as the event moves online for the first time in its 54-year history.

Matthew Phillip's warning comes as health experts revealed a spike in coronavirus cases among Londoners in the 20 to 29 age group.

Meanwhile, the UK's coronavirus reinfection rate has remained unchanged from last week and is still above the concerning threshold of 1.0.

In other developments, lockdown restrictions are to be eased across parts of northern England following a drop in Covid-19 cases.

And thousands of travellers are racing to try and get back to the UK after Switzerland, Jamaica and the Czech Republic were added to the quarantine list. The new measures come into force at 4am tomorrow.
