Three shades of precaution
Today the Prime Minister will chair a meeting of the government's COBR committee to finalize what will be announced in parliament
Different parts of the country will be divided into "medium", "high" or "very high" coronavirus local alert areas under the new system that Boris Johnson is due to announce on Monday.
The three layers represent a growing scale of local restrictions. Level two restrictions are expected to be similar to the rules currently in place in Middlesbrough and parts of the Northeast, where internal mixing of households is not allowed. Two families may be reunited in a private garden, provided the six-tier rule and social distancing are followed.
Nottingham continues to have the highest rate in England with 2,763 new cases registered in the seven days to October 8 - the equivalent of 830.0 cases per 100,000 people.
Merseyside must also be among the areas subject to Level 3 restrictions.
Northern leaders, including Sir Richard and the mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, wrote an open letter to Northern MPs on Sunday asking for financial support for companies affected by the restrictions.
