The UK government is working on a national plan for families to see their loved ones over Christmas, according to the health secretary—but will expect friends and relatives to refrain from hugging.
“We’re working with devolved administrations to try to agree a set of rules for Christmas that will keep us safe, be the same across the UK, I hope, but also allow people to see their loved ones, which I know so many people are yearning for,” Matt Hancock told ITV News on Friday.
The devolved administrations are currently out of step with their measures to tackle the spread of the CCP virus.Hancock said he hoped an agreed set of rules across the whole of the UK could be reached, because “so many people travel to different parts of the UK over Christmas.”
