People will be banned from mixing with other households and pubs will be subject to a 10pm curfew from midnight on 17 September. The new regional measures are also expected to include a ban on care home visits for all but ‘essential visitors’. Approximately 1.5 million people will be affected by the restrictions

 

Rhondda Cynon Taf

A second Welsh council area joins neighbouring Caerphilly in lockdown from 17 September. Almost a quarter of a million people will not be able to leave the area without a reasonable excuse following a sharp rise in coronavirus cases. Indoor meetings and extended households will be forbidden and all licensed premises will close at 11pm

 

Birmingham

A legally-enshrined ban on households mixing in Birmingham, Sandwell and Solihull came into force on 15 September after the city’s seven-day infection rate rose to more than 70 cases per 100,000 people

 

Northern Ireland

People in Belfast, Ballymena, areas to the north-east of the town, and parts of Glenavy, Lisburn and Crumlin cannot visit other people's homes, and no more than six can gather in a private garden

 

Caerphilly

Local lockdown will not be lifted until at least October. People must not enter or leave the county borough without a reasonable excuse. Anyone over 11 must wear a face covering in shops. Indoor meetings are not allowed, extended households can’t be created and overnight stays are banned

 

Leicester

People should not have visitors to their homes or socialise with people they do not live with in other indoor public venues such as pubs, restaurants, shops, places of worship or leisure venues. They also should not visit friends or family in care homes, other than in exceptional circumstances

 

Western Scotland

Restrictions on private indoor gatherings across the west of Scotland now apply to 1.7 million people in Lanarkshire, Glasgow, Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire

 

Parts of Greater Manchester, East Lancashire, Preston and West Yorkshire

People must not host others they do not live with at home or in their garden unless they have formed a support bubble – where a household with one adult joins with another household. People in the same bubble can stay overnight

 

Bolton

Hospitality venues are restricted to takeaway-only. The council has asked people not to mix with other households indoors or outdoors, and to use public transport only for essential purposes. It aims to prevent a local lockdown, after the town’s infection rate increased to 99 cases per 100,000 people per week – the highest in England

 

Blackburn, Oldham and Pendle

Two different households are banned from mixing indoors or in a garden. Visits to care homes are banned, other than in exceptional circumstances. In specific areas with extra restrictions, people should not socialise with people they do not live with at indoor or outdoor public venues, such as parks
