London Mayor Sadiq Khan requested that Prime Minister Boris Johnson ban people from different households mixing as part of lockdown measure on the capital to halt the spread of COVID-19, the Guardian reported on Friday.

"One of the things that I said to the prime minister is: I think we should be following what's happening around the country and stopping social mixing of households, and I say that with a heavy heart," he said in an interview with the newspaper.
