It comes as the Home Secretary Priti Patel warned the public that police will fine any Covid-19 rule breakers.

She said: “My message today to anyone refusing to do the right thing is simple: if you do not play your part our selfless police officers – who are out there risking their own lives every day to keep us safe – they will enforce the regulations.

“And I will back them to do so, to protect our NHS and to save lives.”

She added: “We are now at a critical stage in our battle against this virus.

“To protect those that you care about, and the capacity of our hospitals to protect us all, please stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.”

Police patrols will be increased across the country in an attempt to catch those not following the restrictions put in place by the government.
