A total social lockdown for London and parts of the North could be on the cards if Covid infection rates do not fall. What are the proposed social lockdown measures? The proposed social lockdown measures include ordering the closure of all bars, pubs and restaurants for two weeks and possibly longer. London also faces a total social lockdown if Covid-19 cases continue to rise rapidly. Downing Street reportedly hopes to avoid a national social lockdown, with infection rates remaining low in the country's southwest and southeast outside of London.
