Live: Boris Johnson is addressing the nation on the new coronavirus restrictions

Boris Johnson has announced a string of new restrictions in the House of Commons, including a requirement for pub and shop workers and taxi passengers to wear face coverings, a limit of 15 people allowed at wedding ceremonies and receptions, and a ban on indoor sports involving more than six people, such as five-a-side football. As another 4,926 cases were recorded across the UK, the prime minister suggested the new rules could last for six months, warning the government would be forced to take “more drastic action” if people refuse to follow the rules.
