An outbreak at a Norfolk poultry factory is gathering pace as the total number of positive coronavirus cases rises to nearly 100.
More than 350 families have had to self-isolate, and test and tracing of their contacts remains underway after an initial 75 cases were reported at Banham Poultry.
The factory closed part of its site early last week following advice from Public Health England and Norfolk Public Health. There have now been 96 confirmed coronavirus cases at the factory which employs 1,100 staff, the Eastern Daily Press reported on Monday.
The outbreak prompted fears Norfolk, on England's east coast, could be sent into a local lockdown as positive test numbers rise linked to the cutting room in the village of Attleborough.
