These are the Suffolk neighbourhoods with the highest Covid-19 case rates

Boris Johnson announced earlier this week all Covid-19 regulations, including the requirement to isolate after testing positive, are to be abolished in England within two weeks.

Some have seen his move as a political one, while others have welcomed the decision.

Matt Hancock, MP for West Suffolk, tweeted on Wednesday evening: "A year ago, I was saying we need to learn to live with Covid like flu. Now, at last, that is becoming a reality.

"We have come through this unprecedented pandemic together."
