What is Boris Johnson expected to say?
Confirming the press conference, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “The purpose of that is to provide an update on the latest statistics.
“It is not because there is some specific set of new announcements to make.”
It comes after the UK recorded the highest number of daily coronavirus cases since the outbreak began.
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson told The Daily Telegraph it was “only a matter of days” until a more severe lockdown was imposed on the city.
Meanwhile, the new regulations in Northumberland, Newcastle, Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland and County Durham came into force at midnight and will see fines imposed if people mix with others from outside their household or bubble in indoor settings, including pubs and restaurants.
