Indoor mixing could be banned under two-week circuit breaker to curb the spread of Omicron - reports

Officials are drawing up plans for two weeks of "circuit breaker" measures after Christmas, which would include a ban on indoor mixing, according to reports

The claims come as Boris Johnson's cabinet is being briefed on the latest COVID data, with officials said to be concerned after three consecutive days of record case numbers.

However, one government source has told Sky News that not enough was known about the impact of Plan B and the booster programme - and played down talk of a circuit breaker-style period of restrictions.
