There’s no need to cancel Christmas parties, the UK’s Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Wednesday after a government health agency chief advised against unnecessary socialising.

In a series of media appearances on Wednesday, the health secretary told Sky News that people should “continue to behave in the way they were planning to behave over Christmas.”
