The Government is reported to be considering introducing a number of restrictions as part of a circuit breaker lockdown after Christmas.
News of the proposals has been leaked to The Times, which is reporting the list of restrictions in full.
A ban on indoor mixing and a return to the rule of six is among the measures being looked at to help reduce the spread of Omicron.
Here is the list of measures being considered, according to Birmingham Live.
Indoor mixing banned
A massive blow to millions, indoor mixing could be banned under the proposals, according to a report in the Times.
This would mean families risk not seeing each other after Christmas.
It also raises questions over couples seeing each other if they live apart.
Pubs and restaurants outdoors only
In a massive, crushing development for the hospitality industry, they face having to open outdoors only after Christmas.
The sector will be left gutted by the news, which could mean many city centre sites without outdoor spaces are simply unable to serve customers.
Rule of 6 outdoors to return
Another blow to the hospitality sector, people could be forced to limit their contacts to six outdoors.
In January, given the weather, this is a far from ideal scenario for millions.
Schools and shops will remain open
Reports suggest schools won’t be affected by the lockdown, however, and should reopen as normal after Christmas.
Similarly, the retail sector won’t be impacted either – with shops, both essential and non essential, allowed to keep operating.
It is believed the indoor mixing rules will still apply to shopping trips, though.
