With coronavirus cases continuing to increase in most parts of the country - fears are on the rise that England's third lockdown could still be tightened.
The threat of changes comes as Matt Hancock said that lockdown restrictions in England will remain in place for as “long as they are necessary".
Boris Johnson is coming under increasing pressure to clampdown on the rules amid fears they are too weak to contain the current spread of the virus.
Ministers are also making a push on compliance - with Home Secretary Priti Patel appearing at yesterday's No 10 press conference with a warning that the Government will back police in enforcing the rules.
