More parts of England will join London in the toughest tier of CCP virus restrictions from Boxing Day with the new strain “spreading at a dangerous rate,” the UK health secretary announced on Wednesday.

Nearly all of the southeast corner of the country will be in tier four one restrictions minutes after Christmas Day ends, as the counties of Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire, as well as the remaining parts of Essex, Surrey, and Hampshire are added to the list.
