PMQs: Some food parcels are an 'insult to families' - PM - BBC News
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer challenged Boris Johnson over the provision of "disgraceful" food parcels.
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Boris Johnson said that “the lockdown measures we had in place, combined with tier four measures, are starting to show some signs of effect.”

Looking at cases of Covid-19 in England, the average for the week ending 1 January was almost 55,000 cases.

These people will have been infected before England’s lockdown came in on January 6, although much of the country was under very strict measures before then.

So, using publicly available data, it might be too early to make this assessment.

And in the past month, we’ve seen that a couple of days of decline can quickly be followed by a sustained increase in cases.

But what is clear is that hospital admissions from coronavirus appear to be increasing (they usually peak up to a couple of weeks after high numbers of cases).

The latest seven day average (ending on January 7) saw 3,705 people admitted to hospital daily in England – that’s the highest throughout the entire pandemic.
