Health bosses cannot yet confirm whether a deadly meningitis outbreak has been contained, Kent's director of public health has said.
An urgent public health alert was issued urging health workers to look out for signs of infection after 20 suspected cases were investigated by the UK Health Security Agency, including two people who had died.
The owner of a Canterbury nightclub where the outbreak is believed to have originated said two staff members had also contracted the disease, but remained stable in hospital.
When asked whether the outbreak had been contained, Dr Anjan Ghosh, of Kent County Council, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme they were "not in a position yet to say that definitively".
