What's all this Monday talk all about?

[november90]

What now!!!
I'm in Lancashire in a local lockdown and I keep hearing people saying that things are going to change on Monday and there's been some sort of "leaked document" confirming so.
I've not seen anything confirmed and I'm not here to spread gossip... just wondering if anyone can shed any light? Is it about to get a whole lot worse for us lot in the north west? 😰

Talk of closing bars and restaurants in the North or areas of high numbers of new cases.

There’s talk of introducing no social contact outside your household in any setting, in the areas worst affected.

Is it a complete closure or limited opening hours like 6-6 do you know?
I actually rarely go out to restaurants and never to the pub.... but occasionally I like to take my little boys out for a drink/cake at the cafe 😫

There'll be a Monday announcement going into force on Tuesday.

Thank you!!!

Sounds horrendous. I hope they don't apply this to the whole north west, I think the umbers in my area are quite low still and have been for a while :(

If this was true would it apply to things like baby sensory and the gym? Or is there not enough info?

I've just paid in advanced - none refundable 🤦🏼‍♀️

The British news appears to be more concerned about America and Trump lately. I've not heard anything about any announcements.

@november90 whether your baby classes are affected will depend upon which tier your area is in.

What does.. In any setting mean?

Hair dressers? Schools? Where? Shops?

From what I've seen I think it will be further reduced hours for the hospitality industry and social gatherings but on a tiered system but schools will remain open.

I'm holding out hope that support bubbles and regular childcare arrangements won't be affected. The difference that has made to so many, including my family, is immeasurable. I wouldn't survive another period of complete isolation.

It’s confirmed.

It’s not a leak.

Pubs and restaurants will be closing.

@majesticallyawkward oh bless you. It's been such a tough year. I hope you're looking after yourself. You might feel it but you're not alone ❤️

Do you have a linked (that isn’t a press article)? And does this say which areas it will apply to?

Sorry that was in reply to @Poetf

All the tv channels and press are covering this and they’ve been pretty accurate up to now.

Looks like there will be a traffic light system with different parts of the country in different colour zones with different restrictions. Similar to the NZ system.

I can see there is lots of press but it is still not confirmed what the restrictions will be and where they will be applied.

Can anyone guess which cities will be in tier one or is there some clear criterion like number of people hospitalised?

Tier 3 is supposed to be the strictest.
Most press articles just refer to “the north” like one big homogeneous area but have seen in The Guardian “from Barrow in Cumbria to Merseyside, Greater Manchester, much of Lancashire and Yorkshire and most of the north-east, as well as Nottinghamshire in the Midlands”. Not confirmed yet though

The Daily Fail has a map which claims anyone above 50 cases per 100k will be in the red which is pretty much most of the UK .

50!! The uk average is over 100.I thought they might go for over 200.

Can you link to the fail map please?

Hopefully this works
