Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed Parliament today (Tuesday) to introduce stricter lockdown rules which could be in place for six months.

He has been forced to take action after hospital admissions more than doubled in the past fortnight - with Britain has reached a 'perilous turning point' as in France and Spain.

This are the measures that are coming into place.

• A 10pm curfew for all pubs and hospitality venues will from Thursday - where doors will have to be closed

• They will have to offer table service only - except for takeaway deliveries which can continue

• Tougher enforcement powers for shutting down venues which do not force people to stay apart

• The military could be called in by police to help enforce the new rules

• People should work from home if they can or if their workplace is not Covid-safe.

• Wedding attendees will be halved from 30 to 15 but numbers at funerals can stay as they are

• Facemasks will be made compulsory for staff in hospitality and close contact places - taxis as well

• Team sports will be curbed inside which means five a side football and other games cannot take place 

• The return to live sport planned on October 1 will not now go ahead, but it is not clear how this wlll affect non-league football

• Businesses will have a legal requirement to enforce the rule of six

• The fines will double to £200 for people not wearing face masks

• As announced at the weekend, there will be fines for Brits who defy orders to isolate

Prime Minister Johnson said: "I'm sorry this will affect businesses who have just got back up on their feet.

"But we must act to stop the virus being transmitted in restaurants and bars."
