Those who test positive now face a £10,000 fine if they fail to self-isolate or refuse to cooperate with track and trace guidelines. The new fines start at £1,000 and rise up to £10,000 for repeat offenders or those in serious breach of the rules. From Monday, weddings will be limited to just 15 people as new measures come into force to tackle the so-called second wave. The new restrictions mean an estimated 17.8million people across the UK will be living under additional coronavirus measures by Monday evening - on top of those announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the government will "not hesitate" to introduce further measures if case numbers continue to rise.
