UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the UK is "now seeing a second wave" of Covid-19. Johnson said he did not "want to go into bigger lockdown measures" but that tighter social distancing rules might be necessary.
It is understood a new three-tiered set of restrictions is being considered.
The plan would aim to avoid a national lockdown but could stop household-to-household contact.
The first tier would be the level of measures currently in place in most parts of England now - with social distancing the key aspect.
The second tier would involve what is currently being imposed in north-east of England - curfews on hospitality venues and a ban on meetings between households.
The final third tier would involve stricter lockdown measure.
