UK's PM Johnson introduces the three-tier system of lockdown rules
- Full lockdown would deprive children of education and damage the economy
- I do not believe we need a full lockdown
- I do not believe we should stand aside and let the virus spread
- To let virus rip would mean the intolerable death toll
- Delaying other treatments would damage long term health of the nation
- I take no pleasure in imposing restrictions on businesses
- Tiers are medium, high and very high
- Medium alert level will cover most of the country
- High tier reflects current local lockdowns
- High alert aims to reduce household to household transmission
- In very high alert levels, pubs and bars will close
- We will work with local government on additional measures in very high tier
- Retail schools and universities will remain open
- Gyms and leisure centers, betting shops and casinos will close and very high risk areas
- Government will expand economic support to those affected
- We are talking to other local leaders on lockdown rules
- Rules will be debated and voted on before coming into force on Wednesday
