Boris Johnson announces cautious Christmas easing of Covid lockdown

Government leaders seem to have learned the lesson of their early-summer mistakes, when the quick end of lockdowns triggered a virus second wave

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on 23 November that the one-month lockdown in England will end as planned, but will be replaced by a new three-tier system in regions and towns to account for various degrees of infection.

French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to announce similar easing measures for the Christmas season on 24 November.
