Surge testing for coronavirus is being extended to another London borough, after two cases of the South Africa variant were found.

Residents in parts of Redbridge are being asked to get a PCR test, if they're over the age of 10, regardless of symptoms.

Health officials say there's no link between the cases in Redbridge and others which have recently been found elsewhere in south London.
