New coronavirus restrictions are being introduced in Northern Ireland today to try to combat rising Covid cases. Rules are also tightening in Scotland and Wales but politicians in England are unlikely to discuss possible further measures until tomorrow.

From today, Northern Ireland will no longer permit indoor standing events and nightclubs are closed. Socialising will be reduced to three households while up to six people can meet in pubs, bars and restaurants.

Ten people will be allowed if they are from the same household. Only table service will be available. A two metre social distancing rule will be in place in public premises and offices.
