Mr Johnson is then said to have come to a reluctant conclusion that a full national lockdown for England until December was necessary. The news comes at the end of a week in which coronavirus deaths in the UK have risen to levels last seen in May.

A national lockdown across England would replace the current three Tier system that is in place.
