The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in Bolton has risen to 17, according to the latest figures released by Public Health England. 

Yesterday the figure stood at 15. 

It comes as people who are ignoring social distancing advice to stay two metres apart have been branded "very selfish".

Health Secretary Matt Hancock made the comments as he indicated further measures could be brought in to tackle Covid-19.

In a sign that the UK could be moving towards greater lockdown, Mr Hancock said the Government was willing to take "more action" if needed to stop coronavirus from spreading.

Over the weekend, photos emerged showing crowds of people visiting open spaces across many parts of the UK.

The Government has said it is safe to exercise as long as people keep at least two metres away from other people.

But Labour urged ministers to act now by moving to "enforced social distancing".

Emergency legislation that would grant powers aimed at tackling the pandemic will be debated by MPs later.
