Prime Minister Boris Johnson is to lead a COVID-19 press conference at 5pm this afternoon. The Prime Minister will be joined by Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty and head of the NHS Sir Simon Stevens.
An announcement on further restrictions on travel into the United Kingdom is expected to be made, with those entering the UK expected to be required to stay at a Quarantine Hotel for a period of time. The aim of this is to prevent new strains of COVID-19 entering the United Kingdom, especially those that could potentially evade the current vaccines that we have available at this time.
