Welcome to the Yorkshire Evening Post's daily live news blog on Saturday, March 20.
The UK is on the verge of reaching the major milestone of giving more than 50% of the adult population their first dose of coronavirus vaccine.
Government data up to March 18 suggests that 49.9% of the population aged 18 and over have received a first dose, with an estimated 73,000 more jabs needed to pass the halfway mark.
It comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson received his first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine on Friday evening.
Meanwhile, the census day is rapidly approaching and Leeds households are being told they must fill them out on Sunday, March 21.
