Dr Justin Varney said "scenario-testing" plans were being undertaken in the city in case it saw a variant that did affect children more, describing the Indian variant as a "clear and present danger" to the UK’s Covid roadmap.

The situation in India has been progressing rapidly, with 320,000 new infections on Tuesday alone and deaths rising close to 200,000 overall.
