Coronavirus infection levels in secondary school-age children have risen slightly in England, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Tests carried out during the second week back at school, ending 20 March, found an increase in 11-16 year olds.

Overall, the number of people testing positive for the virus has levelled off in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and risen in Scotland.
