Covid rules: Which areas are under new coronavirus
restrictions?
Coronavirus restrictions are to be tightened in parts of north-west England, West Yorkshire
and the Midlands.
They are the latest areas to see extra measures put in place as cases increase.
How many people are under extra restrictions?
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said a second national lockdown would be likely to have
"disastrous" financial consequences for the UK.
In total, at least 13.5 million people now face local restrictions in the UK, roughly one in
five people.
This includes:
- 10.9 million people in England, or 19% of its population
- 1.8 million people in Scotland (32%)
- 422,000 people in Wales (13%)
- At least 411,000 people in Northern Ireland (22%)
About 55% of the North of England is facing restrictions, along with 22% of the Midlands.
