Leeds has officially been added to the government's coronavirus watchlist after the West Yorkshire city recorded a worrying spike in new infections.

The city has been added to Public Health England's weekly watchlist as an "area of concern" following a surge in recent weeks.

The latest seven-day infection rate in the city rose to 32.4 cases per 100,000 people and has been increasingly spread among younger people, according to health data.
