The British government is mulling tougher restrictions in England to tackle a swiftly accelerating second wave of the novel coronavirus outbreak, possibly outlawing more inter-household socialising, a junior health minister said on Monday.
“We don’t want to bring on new restrictions but of course we keep a constant eye on what is going on with the Covid rate,” Junior Health Minister Helen Whately told Sky News. “We were looking at what we might be able to do.”
