Kent County Council director of public health Dr Anjan Ghosh said the spread is linked to the movement of people away from Kent.
He told a briefing three scenarios were being looked at over the next four weeks, with the most likely being that students who have travelled away from Kent will “incubate” the bug and there could be “household” cases elsewhere.
He added that these cases would be “containable”.

What is meningitis? The key symptoms to look out for
It comes as the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said the number of cases linked to the outbreak has reached 29, up from 27 previously.
Some 18 cases have been confirmed, alongside a further 11 “probable cases” – all with links to Kent, the UKHSA said.
Dr Ghosh told the briefing that three “rough” scenarios are being modelled for the next four weeks, as “that’s the time it takes for this whole thing really subside”.
The first scenario is that the outbreak remains contained in Kent.

“Second scenario is that there are people who’ve left, they’ve gone off campus, and many of them don’t stay in Kent, they go and stay elsewhere,” Dr Ghosh said.
“They were incubating when they left, and then they become cases, and there are small household, sporadic clusters outside of Kent.”
He stressed these cases would be “containable”.
The third scenario, described by Dr Ghosh as the “worst-case scenario”, would result in another cluster outside of Kent.

However, he said this is “highly unlikely”, with the second scenario “most likely to be the case”.
How to check your vaccination record on the NHS app
Go to The NHS App
Open the GP Health Record tab – read and click through the security warning
Open the Immunisations tab
Scroll down through your list of vaccines and related information
If you do not see a meningitis vaccination, that does not mean you have not already had one. There are a number of reasons why the NHS app may not have all your immunisations records, including:
Old records – vaccinations from many years ago may not be recorded on the app
Overseas jabs – vaccinations received abroad are not automatically added to the app
GP record gap – if your doctor has not updated their records, there will be a gap in the app
Access rights – you may need to ask your GP to enable your ‘detailed coded record’
Your GP or a pharmacist will be able to see your full NHS Summary Care Records (SCR), so if in doubt speak to one of them.
Meningitis symptoms
a high temperature
cold hands and feet
vomiting
confusion
breathing quickly
muscle and joint pain
pale, mottled or blotchy skin (this may be harder to see on brown or black skin)
spots or a rash (this may be harder to see on brown or black skin)
headache
a stiff neck
a dislike of bright lights
being very sleepy or difficult to wake
fits (seizures)
And in babies:
refuse feeds
be irritable
have a high-pitched cry
have a stiff body or be floppy or unresponsive
have a bulging soft spot on the top of their head
Different types of meningitis
Viral
Viral meningitis is the most common form. It is rarely life-threatening but can still cause serious illness. It tends to resolve on its own, though can leave infected feeling very unwell during recovery.
Mollaret’s meningitis is a rare and recurring form of the disease. Mollaret’s is a chronic condition, most often linked to infection with the Herpes Simplex virus type 2.
Bacterial
Bacterial meningitis is a serious and fast-moving condition that requires urgent hospital admission and prompt treatment with antibiotics to prevent life-threatening complications.
Meningococcal disease. This term covers two major illnesses, meningitis and septicaemia (blood poisoning), which can occur independently but more often together, making it especially dangerous.
Pneumococcal meningitis is a life-threatening infection that causes inflammation of the protective layers around the brain and spinal cord, it requires swift medical intervention.
TB meningitis is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. This form of the disease is linked to tuberculosis and can be difficult to diagnose due to its gradual onset.
Group B streptococcal (GBS) meningitis is the leading cause of meningitis in babies, and can cause septicaemia and pneumonia, making it a significant concern in newborns.
Neonatal meningitis affects newborns and is divided into “early onset” and “late onset”, depending on how soon after birth the condition develops.
E. coli meningitis is the second most common bacterial cause of meningitis in newborns. E. coli meningitis is a serious condition primarily affecting the very young.
Hib meningitis is like pneumococcal meningitis, and is a life-threatening disease causing inflammation around the brain and spinal cord – though it has become much less common due to vaccination.
Listeria meningitis is caused by Listeria bacteria found in certain foods like unpasteurised soft cheeses, pâté, and shellfish. This form can lead to potentially fatal complications.
Other
Fungal meningitis is a very rare form of the disease and shares similar symptoms but typically develops more gradually rather than suddenly.
Chemical meningitis is unlike most other forms because it is not caused by an infection. Instead, it is triggered by exposure to a particular substance or chemical that causes inflammation.
Parasitic meningitis is extremely rare and occurs when certain parasites infect and inflame the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Cryptococcal meningitis is caused by a fungus found in soil and bird droppings, and is most commonly seen in people with weakened immune systems.
Non-infectious meningitis. Not all meningitis is the result of an infection; this variety is triggered by non-infectious causes like certain medications or other medical conditions.
Malignant/carcinomatous meningitis is a serious condition when cancer cells spread to the meninges. It is associated with advanced cancer and presents significant treatment challenges.

Donald Trump has threatened Iran with a 48 hour deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz, or face their power plants being “hit and obliterated”.
It comes after foreign ministers of G7 nations have said they are “ready to take necessary measures to support global supply of energy”.
In a statement, they said: “We condemn in the strongest terms the (Iran) regime’s reckless attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure, in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Iraq, in line with UNSC Resolution 2817. The Iranian regime’s unjustifiable attacks against these states also threaten regional and global security.

“We call for the immediate and unconditional cessation of all attacks by the Iranian regime. We reaffirm the importance of safeguarding maritime routes, and safety of navigation, including in the Strait of Hormuz and all associated critical waterways, as well as the safety and security of supply chains and the stability of energy markets.

“We stand ready to take necessary measures to support global supply of energy such as the stockpile release decided by International Energy Agency members on March 11.”
Trump wrote on Truth Social: “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

As hundreds of students queued for a third day to get vaccinated, the Health and Social Care Secretary paid tribute to everyone working to keep cases down.
Some 23 cases have been confirmed alongside a further 11 cases that “remain under investigation”, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said in an update on Saturday morning. Eighteen of the 23 confirmed cases are meningitis B.

Speaking to this newspaper, he said: “As we mark a week since the first confirmed case of the Kent meningitis outbreak, I want to first take a moment to again share my condolences with the families of the two students who tragically died. And my thoughts remain with all those ill in hospital fighting this terrible disease.
“It has been an incredibly difficult week for those affected and for those working on the front line response to this outbreak. As we look ahead to another challenging week, I wanted to pay tribute to the Herculean efforts of everyone who has worked tirelessly to care for those affected and keep people safe.
“To the UKHSA and other public health officials working to contain the outbreak. The NHS team who stood up a vaccination programme within one day of it being announced, distributed more than 7,000 doses of antibiotics, and those caring for young patients in hospital. The school, college and university staff keeping students and parents informed, helping young people through the distress of this outbreak, and keeping their education going. And the thousands of students, pupils, and other members of the public who have so readily and responsibly come forward for antibiotics and vaccination.

“I am incredibly grateful to you all. Thank you. We are continuing to urge people in Kent and across the country to keep following the advice, keep living your lives, and keep looking after one another.”
The latest figures come as more than 500 people, students and others eligible, lined up outside the University of Kent campus clinic for meningitis B jabs at the start of the weekend.
When people talk about tackling climate change, the images are often solar panels, wind turbines and electric cars. But the bigger question is whether economies can grow without releasing more carbon. This hinges on “decoupling” – the idea that economic growth can be separated from greenhouse gas emissions.
At first glance, that sounds almost magical. How can a country expand without using more energy or producing more emissions? Yet decoupling is already happening. According to analysis from a thinktank called the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit, economies responsible for roughly 92% of global GDP now show some form of decoupling. This means that emissions either rise more slowly than output or fall while GDP grows. So the historical link between growth and emissions can be weakened.
This is not abstract theory. In the UK, greenhouse gas emissions were around 54% lower in 2024 than in 1990 while the economy expanded. Falling emissions alongside rising GDP show that growth no longer always equals more pollution and that net zero targets could be achieved without forcing economic stagnation.
However, there is a distinction to make. This distinction is between relative decoupling and absolute decoupling. Relative decoupling is when growth slows relative to economic growth. Absolute decoupling, which is required to achieve net zero, is a reduction in emissions while economic growth increases. This is the only decoupling that can help achieve climate targets.

Earth systems scientist Mark Maslin explain the concept of net zero.
One way decoupling can occur is through a transformation in the energy sector. This is necessary to move towards renewable electricity sources. This is because there has been an increase in the use of clean energy sources relative to fossil fuels in some countries. However, this is not enough, as there is a need to make better use of clean energy through an improved grid system to avoid energy waste.
Energy efficiency is another major component. Across transport, buildings and industry, measures such as better insulation, efficient equipment and smarter process control can cut energy use for the same output. According to the International Energy Agency, energy intensity (the energy needed per unit of economic output) needs sustained declines of about 4% per year this decade to meet net zero goals. This shows that significant efficiency gains remain achievable.
Another important factor is technological innovation. For example, clean hydrogen, carbon capture, smart grids, and the electrification of transport can help an economy grow while emissions fall. However, it is only possible if it is integrated into the entire system, rather than being seen as a separate technology. It is similar to traffic flow. For example, building more roads is not a solution if traffic is a problem. Similarly, deploying renewables is not a solution if the entire energy system is not seen as a single system.

Zooming out and focusing in
Decoupling is not automatic. For example, sectors such as aviation, cement, steel, chemicals, electricity and heat are among the most carbon-intensive parts of industrial manufacturing. These are widely considered “hard-to-abate” sectors, as their emissions remain closely tied to high-temperature processes and fossil fuel use.
Even in easier-to-abate sectors, such as electricity generation and road transport, there can be a rebound effect. This means that efficiency gains or lower energy costs lead to increased overall demand. To overcome these challenges, it is critical to focus on the performance of the entire system.
The good news is that decoupling is becoming increasingly visible. There is evidence of this across many economies, including the UK, US, Germany and France, where emissions have declined while GDP has continued to grow. In the UK, emissions have fallen while GDP has grown. This indicates that growth and climate protection need not be in conflict, and that good engineering and system design can support both.

To deliver net zero by 2050, absolute decoupling must become the norm. This means going beyond renewable targets and considering system design, infrastructure, flexibility, efficiency and integration across energy, transport and industry.
Combined with policy and investment approaches that reward lower carbon intensity, these strategies could substantially cut cumulative emissions. For example, if global energy intensity improves by around 4% per year through 2035 (meaning economies use less energy to produce the same level of output, such as through better building insulation, more efficient industrial equipment and electrification of transport) billions of tonnes of CO₂ could be avoided while GDP continues to grow.
Similarly, if countries achieve reductions comparable to the UK’s 54% cut in emissions since 1990 – which was driven largely by phasing out coal in power generation, expanding renewables, improving energy efficiency and shifting towards lower-carbon fuels – net zero pathways could become far more feasible. This makes decoupling a practical roadmap for the green transition.
“Beyond the devastating human toll, attacks on health care have immediate and long-term consequences for communities already in desperate need of both emergency and routine medical services,” said Mr Ghebreyesus.

Another added: “Food was amazing. Three different starters and three different mains all bang on.”
Sunday lunches appear to be a particular highlight, with one visitor describing their meal as “excellent”, adding that the beef was “perfectly cooked”.
The atmosphere and setting are also frequently praised.
“What a wonderful pub,” one reviewer wrote. “We did not know that such places still exist. A great meal, good atmosphere and a lovely walk around the green afterwards.”

Another said simply: “Beautiful pub with beautiful food in a beautiful place.”
Visitors also point to the pub’s friendly and welcoming service as a key part of its appeal.
“Could not have been made more welcome,” said one customer who visited with their dog, while another described the staff as “superb” and the ambience as “wonderful”.

The pub’s dog-friendly approach has also proven popular, particularly with walkers exploring the surrounding countryside.
Others have highlighted the range of drinks available, including local ales and beers, with one reviewer calling it “the perfect atmosphere to have a great pint of Yorkshire bitter”.
The Stanwick Arms offers dinner service across several evenings each week, alongside weekend lunches, positioning itself as a popular stop-off for both locals and visitors.
In addition to its food and drink offering, the pub also features seven guest rooms, providing accommodation in the heart of the village.

Located just six miles from Darlington, Aldbrough St John remains a quiet, historic village, and for many visitors, the Stanwick Arms is at the centre of its appeal.
As one reviewer summed it up: “Great food, friendly staff and a fantastic setting, we’ll definitely be back.”
Daniel Farke insisted Leeds were “one point closer” to retaining their Premier League status after being held to a frustrating 0-0 home draw by Brentford.
Farke’s side missed the chance to climb six points clear of the bottom three, with relegation rivals Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and West Ham all in action on Sunday.
Neither goalkeeper was seriously test in a forgettable match at Elland Road, which was low on quality and creativity in the final third.
“We are one point closer,” said Farke, who predicted “six to eight” points would be enough to stay in the top flight in his pre-match press conference.

“Now we have to win five to seven points. This will do. It means we need to win two games, or we need (to win) one game and a few draws, or whatever.
“If we draw from now on each every game, I will take it, because with 40 points, you definitely stay in this league.”
Leeds, whose best chances came from long-range efforts from Lukas Nmecha and captain Ethan Ampadu, failed to score for the fourth successive league game as their winless top-flight run extended to six matches.
“I think you could today see why Brentford is not just an established Premier League side, but also a side who is sitting in position seven and fighting for Europe,” Farke added.

“You could see that they are rock-solid at the back, a really good defensive firewall.”
Brentford boss Keith Andrews described it as a “hard fought” point for his side and was clearly delighted by his players’ resilience.
“Hard, hard fought,” Andrews said. “Very proud of what the players produced, really proud of the mentality coming to a very tough place against a really good side that do things really well.
“I have a lot of admiration for Daniel and what he’s done in his career full stop, and certainly the way he’s got the team going. Yeah, a good point.”

Brentford have climbed to within two points of sixth-placed Chelsea, having lost only one of their last eight league games.
The Bees did not allow Leeds to build any momentum, subsequently keeping Elland Road relatively subdued throughout the match and Andrews said that had been a key part of his gameplan.
He added: “It’s not a secret, when this place gets going it’s so lively, the fans, the way they get behind the team and how that can affect performances is something you need to deal with.
“The players attacked it really well with the mentality to deal with it. Defending against some really impressive players. We take immense pride that we dug deep to keep a clean sheet.”
