Pubs, bars and restaurants in England will be forced to close by 10pm from Thursday, Boris Johnson will announce.
The curfew will form part of new national lockdown measures being announced by the Prime Minister on Tuesday evening to tackle the surging rates of coronavirus cases, Number 10 said.
The hospitality sector for food and drink will be also restricted by law to table service only.
Downing Street confirmed the strict curbs will be announced in the PM’s live televised address at 8pm tomorrow evening, but it is unclear yet whether there are any other measures yet to be announced.
Mr Johnson will convene the Cabinet early on Tuesday ahead of a Cobra emergency committee meeting, where ministers, devolved leaders and officials will discuss the spike in infections.
It came as the UK’s four chief medical officers recommended raising the Covid alert level from 3 to 4, the second highest, indicating the “epidemic is in general circulation; transmission is high or rising exponentially”.
