Surge testing will take place from Monday after cases of the Brazil COVID-19 "variant of concern" were found in England and Scotland. The variant is the latest to be detected in the UK as the government hopes to reduce transmission through lockdown measures and the vaccine roll-out. Sky News takes a look at where the new variant was found, whether it is more transmissible than other strains, and if vaccines will work to stop infection. What is the Brazil 'variant of concern'?

Joan Wakefield has barely been able to walk for the best part of six months. The 72-year-old from Stockport had a knee replacement in October and has since suffered infections in the scar tissue, causing agonising pain. Then at the beginning of this month she received the first dose of AstraZeneca 's Covid-19 vaccine. 'I woke up the next morning and the leg pain and stiffness was gone,' she says.

Miranda Burns had been dating Tristan Hall for just six months when they were told in December 2019 that it would be "medically impossible" for them to get pregnant naturally. Not a topic that couples in the early stages of a relationship usually have to confront and think about - and certainly something that would have been make-or-break for the pair. Miranda was 25-years-old at the time, while Tristan was only 22. The devastating diagnosis came after Miranda learned she had endometriosis and discovered that the condition had caused damage to her fallopian tubes. To make matters more complex, they then found out that Tristan has issues with his sperm’s morphology, which means they were a concerning shape. The couple, not yet 30, have since got engaged and are starting IVF and will be documenting the whole process in a new podcast called Test Tube Baby. The brutally honest but charmingly funny podcast launches on Monday, March 1 and will detail the highs and lows of … [Read more...] about Young couple’s devastating infertility journey after being told having baby is impossible

And just one single dose of a Pfizer/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine can give 90 per cent protection from the disease, as new figures show jabs are slashing hospitalisations. Meanwhile Boris Johnson this weekend pledged to get Britain's workers back to their offices "soon" as the UK officially passed 19 MILLION first doses today.
