A winter plan for the coronavirus will include tough new restrictions in England in December but a break of up to five days for Christmas. The prime minister is publishing a coronavirus winter plan, which will include tough new restrictions in England in December but a break of up to five days for Christmas. In a Commons statement, Johnson is not expected to confirm how many households will be able to bubble together at Christmas, or how long the break in restrictions will last. But ministers are working on plans for three households and a five-day break, from Christmas Eve to December 28, subject to agreement from the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments. The mass coronavirus testing program will be launched in areas facing the toughest restrictions, in Tier 3, using the Liverpool, model, which the government claims has been a success.
