00:00It's really concerning this outbreak in Kent and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the two
00:06people who've really sadly lost their lives.
00:09The Health Security Agency has set out that at the moment it thinks there are 11 other cases but it's
00:14monitoring and being quite active now in terms of asking students and those who'd been in a particular bar where
00:21they think it was spread to come forward and get the treatment that they need.
00:26We need to set up different places in Kent for people to be able to do that is issuing updates
00:30yesterday and I'm sure today we'll hear more from the government.
00:34We are acting here. We're going to make sure that we can do all we can to support people to
00:40get the treatment that they need.
