Cases of the highly contagious diphtheria are on the rise in Britain, with three people dying with the disease in the last year, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
The rising number of cases is linked to its increased spread among asylum seekers and people catching it from their pets, the UKHSA said in its latest report, with one of those who died with the disease being held at the controversial Manston processing facility in Kent.
