A decision on further coronavirus restrictions for the Liverpool area in the UK is expected to be taken today. Politicians in the region are understood to have met Britain's Health Secretary Matt Hancock yesterday, with a final decision to be taken at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Boris Johnson today.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said he had been told to expect similar restrictions to the North East, where households are banned from mixing in public venues.
He said: "We've already been told there will be restrictions and regulations put in place similar to Newcastle and the North East, so we expect that, but potentially also the Government might introduce even stricter measures so we've just got to wait
