Covid: No new measures but nothing ruled out, and festive football goes ahead

No new measures to stop the spread of coronavirus are being introduced in England yet, Boris Johnson has said, but the government will rule nothing out and is “looking at all kinds of things”. The prime minister was speaking after a cabinet meeting where scientists briefed ministers, and options for new restrictions were discussed. He said the government would keep data under constant review and “we will have to reserve the possibility of taking further action to protect the public and our NHS”, adding “we won’t hesitate to take action”. A further 91,743 Covid cases were reported across the UK on Monday, the second highest daily total on record.
