COVID-19 Fallout: England to Be Carved Into Three Lockdown Tiers, Report Says
Late last month, UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said that the government couldn't rule out a full second national lockdown amid an increase in the number of new COVID-19 cases in the country.
England may be split into three different lockdown tiers next week as part of the British government's efforts to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, Sky News reports.
The so-called Alert Level 1 lockdown system will reportedly pertain to restrictions currently in place across England, including the "rule of six" gatherings inside and outside households, the wearing of face masks, and the 10 p.m. curfew on hospitality businesses.
Alert Level 2 is expected to be imposed on specific geographical areas or nationally if a rise in coronavirus cases cannot be contained by local authorities.
Sky News cited unnamed sources as saying that tier two-related restrictions would be the same as those currently in place in northeastern England and Merseyside County, where household mixing in homes or gardens, as well as household mixing in hospitality settings are banned.
