Businesses in Kent will be able to get help to get through the crisis, after the county council put £100,000 forward to keep a helpline running until the end of the year.

Kent County Council (KCC) says it gave almost 20,000 food vouches to vulnerable families to help them feed their children during the October half- term holiday.

KCC launched a helpline and webpage so families with children eligible to receive free school meals could request vouchers to spend on food outside of term time.

The leader of the council, Roger Gough, said: “No child should ever go hungry and I am very pleased that we have been able to support some of Kent’s most vulnerable families."

The principal of Skinners' Kent Academy in Tunbridge Wells, Hannah Knowles, has thanked the authority for giving financial support to families during the October break, which she said would otherwise would have cost the school £5,700.

Most new cases of coronavirus in Brighton and Hove were in young people in the week up to 20 October, the city's council said, although the number of cases rose most steeply in those aged 60 or older.

In the latest published data, there were 208 confirmed new cases of Covid-19, with a significant rise also seen among people aged between 20 and 59 years old.

A council spokesman said: "This is equivalent to a weekly rate of 140 new cases per 100,000 residents.

"The city’s rate was lower than the England average, which was 229 per 100,000, but it was higher than the south east of England which was 115 per 100,000 during the same period."

The council's Director of Public Health, Alistair Hill, said: “Our goal is to emerge from lockdown with much lower rates of Covid-19 in the city and hopefully be at the lowest national alert level, Tier 1."

She said she believed it was the only option to protect vulnerable and older people and the NHS, having seen the rate of Covid-19 infections in Eastbourne rise from 20 per 100,000 people to 100 per 100,000 in the space of a few weeks.

New guidance for care homes in England will give people "more opportunities to see loved ones in a safe way", the care minister and Faversham MP, Helen Whately, has said.

She said the government had to strike a balance to allow visits during lockdown but also keep residents and staff safe.

It is suggested care homes introduce Covid-secure floor-to-ceiling screens, visiting pods or window visits.

However, charities and Labour have criticised the government for advising measures that won't be practical.
