Kent has seen a drop in the rates of positive COVID tests in almost every district in the county.
The most recent figures are for the last seven days, up to January 3.
They are based on the number of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in a reported lab test and positive rapid lateral flow tests within 72 hours.

Mr. Harper said the rebellion would be even more severe if Mr. Johnson tried to extend the measures beyond January 23.

“I think the intellectual argument is now even weaker.”
