Tough new lockdown restrictions on social gatherings across the whole of England are to be announced as Prime Minister Boris Johnson tries to control a spike in Covid-19 infections.
From Sept 14, groups of more than six people will be banned from meeting and fined if they fail to comply, Johnson will say, according to Reuters.
“We need to act now to stop the virus spreading,” Johnson will say. “So we are simplifying and strengthening the rules on social contact — making them easier to understand and for the police to enforce.”
