A NEW strain of coronavirus which may spread even quicker has been identified in large parts of England, Matt Hancock revealed today - as he plunged millions more Brits into Tier 3. He added: "We've seen very sharp exponential rises of the virus across London, Kent parts of Essex and Hertfordshire. Mr Hancock told MPs the case rate in over-60s is 250 per 100,000 and rising - showing it's not just kids who are getting infected. Last week Mr Hancock announced mobile testing units to be ordered into schools in London and the South East over soaring cases. One pub landlord, Gary Murphy, who owns Ye Olde Mitre Inne in North London told Sky News he was "devastated" at the decision.
