London moves into Tier Four restrictions
London is now in the UK Government's new Tier Four (Stay at Home). These restrictions are similar to the national restrictions in November and will apply throughout the Christmas period. The Tier Four restrictions have been introduced in response to a new COVID-19 strain that is believed to be up to 70% more transmissible than previous variants. These rules replace the Government's instructions about "Christmas bubbles" announced earlier this month. The Prime Minister has said that all tiers will be reviewed regularly, and the next formal review will take place on 30 December. In Tier Four areas, people should only spend time with the people in their household, with some exceptions. What counts as a household? .
