The prime minister held a Covid briefing at Downing Street a short time ago.
He was joined by England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, and the UK's chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance.
Here are the key announcements:
London, the South East and parts of eastern England are moving into a new tier four level of restrictions
From midnight, residents in tier four must stay at home, with limited exceptions. Non-essential retail, gyms and personal care centres must close. Hospitality venues are already closed under tier three rules
Household mixing indoors is banned - people can meet one other person from another household in an outdoor space only
Travel into and out of tier four is not allowed, unless essential
The "support bubbles" for adults living alone will continue
The planned relaxation of Covid rules for Christmas has been scrapped for tier four areas
For the rest of England, the rules allowing three households to meet will be reduced to Christmas Day only
The new rules follow evidence that a new variant of the virus is spreading fast in the areas moved into tier four
The new variant is responsible for an increase in hospitalisations, but there is no evidence to suggest it causes a more severe disease than the old variant or will be resistant to vaccines
Boris Johnson says he made the decision with a “heavy heart” but “when the virus changes its method of attack, we must change our method of defence”
Prof Whitty says it is important people in tier four areas don’t travel so they don’t spread the variant to other parts of the UK
Sir Patrick says that while this is a “horrible moment, it is controllable and there is light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccinations having started”
