'New restrictions in England likely for months Tight new Covid-19 restrictions which came into effect last night for millions of people in England are likely to remain until a vaccine is rolled out in a widespread way, Britain’s health secretary has indicated. Matt Hancock was being interviewed in the last few minutes on Sky News, where he was asked by journalist Sophie Ridge if people who were waking up today in new Tier 4 areas – covering London and much of the south east of England – should expect those rules to remain until the vaccine is distributed widely. “I think that given how much this faster this new variant spreads, it is going to be very difficult to keep it under control until we have the vaccine rolled out,” he replied, referring to a new strain of Covid-19 which has been identified by health authorities in the UK and which is surging across the south east of England. Cases have also been identified in Australia and continental Europe.' https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/dec/20/coronavirus-live-news-nsw-premier-to-provide-update-on-sydney-restrictions-as-northern-beaches-locked-down-uk-tightens-christmas-rules?
