Emergency testing in parts of England for the new South African variant of the coronavirus is being stepped up after more cases were identified in Worcestershire, Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
Urgent door-to-door mobile testing began recently after a number of cases were identified with no apparent connection to travel to South Africa.
