London has been placed in the “medium” risk category for Covid-19, meaning no additional restrictions will apply to residents and businesses in the capital beyond those currently in force nationally.

The UK government unveiled its new three-tier “Local Covid Alert Level” system on 12 October. In the areas designated “very high risk” residents will not be allowed to mix with other households, indoors or outdoors, while restaurants and pubs will be closed temporarily. People will be advised not to travel in or out of the affected areas.
