Enjoy new year but be cautious, care minister says
People should enjoy themselves but be cautious when celebrating new year, UK care minister Gillian Keegan has said.

The government is not imposing further Covid restrictions in England, but there are limits on socialising in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
England has reported a record high of 117,093 cases, while figures from Wales indicate a steep rise before Christmas.
Provisional data in Scotland suggests another 9,360 people have tested positive, down on its record of 11,030 on 26 December. No cases data is available in Northern Ireland due to Christmas holidays.
Meanwhile, England saw another 1,374 Covid hospital admissions on 26 December - the highest number since February.
A total of 9,546 people are in hospital with Covid in England, official figures show. This is the highest since March but well below the peak of 34,000 in January.
Not all the patients in hospital will have been admitted for Covid - latest data suggests about three in 10 have the virus but were admitted to hospital for something else.
Ms Keegan said that while people should try to enjoy themselves on new year, Omicron was "highly infectious" and they needed to exercise caution.
The hospitality sector said the decision not to add further measures was a "lifeline" for pubs, bars and clubs.
