Whooping cough infections in London have more than doubled in a fortnight in London, figures revealed on Friday, as health chiefs urged parents to look out for symptoms in children.
Data from the UK Health Security Agency showed that 42 notified cases were reported in London in the week up to January 21, a rise of 147 per cent on the figure reported two weeks prior. During the same period last year, the capital did not record a single infection.
