Lockdown measures for the north announced
A late night announcement from Matt Hancock on Twitter on July 30 reveals that parts of the North are to come under local lockdown restrictions.

The Health Secretary says that people will be banned from mixing with other households indoors due to a spike in cases in areas including Greater Manchester.

The announcement is criticised for lacking in detail and for not coinciding with a press conference.

The next day, Boris Johnson hosts a briefing from Downing Street and attempts to clarify the rules.

He also announces that further plans to ease lockdown on August 1 are being postponed.

Casinos and bowling alleys will no longer be able to open, close contact beauty services will not resume and small wedding receptions must also wait. (Manchester Evening News)
