Northumberland's top health official has urged eligible residents to get their coronavirus vaccine as cases of the virus rise.
Last week Northumberland County Council's interim director of public health, Liz Morgan, told councillors that ONS data showed that the number of people infected by the virus had gone from one in 65 to one in 15 in the latest set of figures, with the North East the worst-affected region.
A booster shot of the vaccine is being offered to people aged 50 and over and those with certain underlying health conditions this winter, as well as frontline health workers.
