A virologist, also well-known as one of the Naked Scientists broadcasters, said history could tell us a lot about how to deal with unexpected Covid-19 hotspots like the one in Leicester where a new lockdown is being considered.

Dr Chris Smith, of Cambridge University, external and a frequent broadcaster in the region, said: "We can fall back on history because we have got a track record of having dealt with dread diseases all over the world in years gone by.

"Under certain circumstances lockdowns are necessary, but under other circumstances you do things like - when we were dealing with Ebola - a cordon sanitaire.

"What you do is you go in and act decisively in one particular area. You find out where the cases are.

"You isolate the cases and you break the train of transmission,"

Dr Smith added that lockdown was one end of the spectrum, but information-gathering was the most important thing.

"That would help to find out where the cases are, what caused the outbreak, who is giving it to whom, who is most at risk and then where to focus attention," he said.

A 168-bedroom hotel is to be built at the site of the Imperial War Museum in Duxford.

Planning permission for the Hampton by Hilton hotel was granted by South Cambridgeshire District Council’s Planning Committee, external.

The six-storey, L-shaped hotel, which will feature a gym, bar and dining area and employ 40 staff, will form part of a complex which already boasts a conference centre.

The museum's executive director of commercial services and operations, John Brown, said the hotel had been "a long held aspiration of ours" giving visitors the option to stay overnight.

The council's lead Cabinet member for planning, Dr Tumi Hawkins, said it makes "perfect sense" to build a hotel so visitors can see the "spectacular displays" which take place at the war museum.

It is expected to open to guests in spring 2022.
