Hidden restrictions: PM sets new rules for hospitality and face-to-face coverage – BBC News

The UK has reached a “dangerous turning point,” said Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who could last up to six months to implement a set of new coronavirus restrictions for England. Store staff will be required to wear face masks and weddings will be limited to a maximum of 15 people, according to the new rules. Penalties will be increased for breaking laws, wearing masks and for business. He warned that “significant reductions” could come if necessary. After the Cobra emergency committee met this morning with leaders from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Johnson said “similar steps” would be taken across the UK. “We always knew that even though we could push the virus to withdraw, the possibility of a second wave was real. I’m sorry to say that, as in Spain and France and many other countries, we’ve reached a dangerous turning point,” he said. Johnson told the House of Commons that he would give more money to police and local authorities to enforce regulations and allow them to obtain military assistance. Please subscribe HERE .
