Boris Johnson announced a new four-week lockdown across  England starting from Thursday 5th November. This is mainly because over the past seven days, the Uk has averaged almost 23,000 new cases a day, and 237 deaths with coronavirus. The  summary of this new lockdown is:

➤The furlough system is paying 80% of employee's wages through November.

➤ Schools and Universities will be kept open throughout this four-week period.

➤ Shielding measures will not be reintroduced, but vulnerable people or those aged over 70 are told to be especially careful.

➤Bars and restaurants will close, but takeaways can continue to operate.

➤You can leave your house if you are not able to work from home, medical reasons, appointments, to shop for food and essentials, to provide care for vulnerable people, or as a volunteer.

➤You are only allowed to see one person from another household
