Two major London hospitals are allowing visitors back in for the first time since restrictions were introduced.

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth are run by the same NHS trust, which says it is now adopting a socially distanced policy for up to two visitors on some wards.

The change reflects the the lower infection rates across the capital.

People with relatives with coronavirus are also being allowed visits, but the trust says it's advising anyone who visits a ward where there are Covid patients to isolate for 10 days afterwards.
