Following the PM's announcement at 5pm, masks will again be mandatory in shops and public transport, and the Government has urged everyone to do their bit by getting their booster jab.

Earlier today the UK Government confirmed two cases in Chelmsford, Essex and Nottingham.
The Prime Minister said: "This is the responsible course of action to slow down the seeding and the spread of this new variant and maximises our defences."
A tweet from the PM's office said: "COVID UPDATE: All contacts of suspected Omicron cases must self-isolate for 10 days, regardless of their vaccination status.
"They will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace."

In a press conference from Downing Street, he also announced that all arrivals to the UK will face mandatory PCR tests.
The Prime Minister added border measures can "only ever minimise and delay the arrival of a new variant rather than stop it all together", so all contacts with a suspected case of the new variant will have to isolate for 10 days, regardless of their vaccination status.
"We will also go further in asking all of you to help contain the spread of this variant by tightening up the rules on face coverings in shops and on public transport," Mr Johnson said.
