After Boris Johnson announced more lockdown rules there are now a number of things you can't do in Liverpool and across the country.
A range of restrictions were brought in for Merseyside and West Lancashire from Midnight on Tuesday but the Prime Minister then extended more measures for the whole country to try and bring down the number of coronavirus cases.
During a national address on Tuesday evening, Mr Johnson admitted that like other countries, the UK is now at a 'perilous turning point'.
New cases have quadrupled in a month, with the possibility of tens of thousands of new cases each day in November.
Liverpool and Merseyside have a number of local restrictions meaning that the list things you can and can't do here is longer than anywhere else in the country.
Residents are also advised to adhere to the following guidance to further reduce rates of infection:
- Only to use public transport for essential purposes, such as travelling to school or work
- Avoid attending amateur and semi-professional sporting events as spectators.

The government's guidance for Merseyside also now states: "We advise that you should not socialise with people you do not live with, unless they’re in your support bubble, in any public venue.
"This applies to inside and outside of the affected areas. Examples of public venues include pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops, places of worship, community centres, leisure and entertainment venues, or visitor attractions."
