Millions of people across southeast England will no longer be able to mix with other households at Christmas, with a new Tier 4 level of COVID restrictions - equivalent to a full lockdown - to come into force tomorrow.
In a dramatic move, prompted by fears over a new strain of coronavirus, all those areas currently in Tier 3 in the South East - including London - will move to the new Tier 4 on Sunday.
And Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was with a 'heavy heart' that the planned five-day easing of restrictions over the festive period will now be limited to a single day.

Despite growing pressure from doctors and scientists to abandon the relaxation of Covid restrictions over Christmas , the four nations of the United Kingdom have decided to stick largely to the previously agreed plans.
However with the number of infections rising sharply all four UK nations are urging people to observe “extreme caution” over the five-day Christmas period.
