The Metropolitan Police has opened investigations into potential COVID-19 breaches at two gatherings during the pandemic involving Conservative Party personnel.

The force said on Tuesday that new evidence has prompted officers to reopen its probe into a Christmas party held at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters in London on Dec. 14, 2020.
