Curfews could be imposed in London to fight a second COVID-19 wave, the Evening Standard reported on Wednesday, citing the director of the London public health unit.

"It might be local curfews so you’re not out drinking until the wee hours of the morning," Kevin Fenton, London director of Public Health England, was quoted as saying.
