The lateral flow test involves a handheld kit that gives a result in about 20 minutes, without the need for a lab.

Fluid from a nasal swab or saliva goes on one end, then a marking appears if you are positive.

Each region will receive 10,000 of the tests which are to be used with "priority groups" in their community.

The areas to benefit from the new tests are:

• Calderdale
• Doncaster
• East Riding of Yorkshire
• Kingston upon Hull
• Wakefield

The government said the proactive testing of people who aren't showing symptoms will help slow the spread of the virus locally.

The coronavirus pandemic has so far cost South Yorkshire Police more than £2m, with a further £550,000 expected to be spent, a new report has revealed.

The majority of the cash is made up of overtime, which came to £1.18m for April to September.

The rest of the money is made up of £41,000 on pay and employee costs, £12,000 on cleaning products, £21,000 on first aid equipment, and £7,000 on IT costs.

A total of £76,000 has been spent on Personal Protective Equipment, of which the Home Office will reimburse £47,000.

A report to South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Alan Billings outlines a £1.75m overspend for the financial year, which is 0.66% of the force's total budget.

The report states that police officers’ pay and overtime is expected to come to a £3m overspend over the course of the financial year.

Overtime costs in Sheffield and Rotherham have been partly offset by underspend in the football policing budget, and “operational contingency”, the report adds.

Head teacher Ben Mallinson said he was worried pupils could be harmed and called for the zone to be scrapped.

He said if it continued, he feared a student could be abducted.

Leeds City Council's deputy leader Debra Coupar said: "I would urge anyone who witnesses any form of indecency or unacceptable behaviour to contact the police or Safer Leeds Partnership immediately."

The aviary at the bottom of a garden in Stannington was targeted on Friday night, and 25 cockatiels were stolen.

Owner Sue Dawson, 71, said six escaped budgies had been spotted. Two have since been returned.

She said the noise of the thieves breaking down a fence to gain entry to the aviary was masked by fireworks.

"They broke a 7ft (2.1m) fence and broke the garden lights to get in. They took 25 of the cockatiels, they even took a female off her eggs," said Mrs Dawson.

"Two of the eggs were cracked and developing, but now they have gone cold the babies have died."

Mrs Dawson had about 70 birds in the aviary, which she has kept as a hobby for about four years.

She had advertised some of the baby cockatiels for sale and believes the thieves knew what they were looking for.

South Yorkshire Police have been informed about the theft. Anyone with information is being urged to contact them.

Planned work is being brought forward on the Humber Bridge.
