Matt Hancock will announce changes to Covid-19 tiers in the House of Commons tomorrow. The Health Secretary will reveal whether restrictions in local areas are being ramped up or eased for the final time in 2020.
MPs are returning to Westminster for one day tomorrow, in order to rapidly vote through Boris Johnson's eleventh-hour Brexit deal.
The vote is expected to take place around 2.30pm, with announcements about tier changes expected at around 3pm. The Prime Minister is expected to discuss new tier arrangements at a Covid-O meeting later today.
The government created the strict fourth tier in response to a new, highly contagious variant of coronavirus that is spreading in the South East of England.
