UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday announced a three-tiered CCP virus restriction system, in an effort to simplify the patchwork of often complicated and confusing restrictions imposed across England.

The three tiers are medium, high, and very high, categorized by the infection rates of the areas. The new rules will be debated and voted on in Parliament on Tuesday. If passed, they will apply from Wednesday.
